The Magic of cooking is PLANNING!
Years ago I was told the magic of cooking is planning and reading. Just because it is a recipe which you can read does not mean you need to follow it... But rather as a base!
I was asked about my cooking today about the time involved. I said " It would be easier to go get something prepared but it may or may not be cheaper but it will be fast".
For example here in MO.: It is snowing like gang busters on a Sunday. No where to go! I get out the Chili pot and make five gallons for dinner. Then freeze the rest in portions that can be grabbed out of the freezer for days that we need a quick meal. You could make Ka-Bobs and freeze for later. Soups and pot pies freeze well too! Extra pulled pork, brisket, chicken, ribs ect as well. We even do 5 gallons of real baked tatoes and freeze in family size portions. This is a great grab and go with a bunch of cooked turkey or chicken. Just remember you need time and all the ingriediants on hand so stock up with sales for when these days happen.
Any more ideas please add! These days I am talking about the whole house smells great and reminds me of the days I had at home with mom cooking! A bonus is if you can get the whole family involved.
Find time to plan! Your family will love it!
