[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on what's on sale, tomorrow I'll pick up a big pack of ground beef, 2 rotisserie chickens, and the standard produce order. I'll do chicken w/ veggies and rice for dinner, shred any remaining meat and the meat from the 2nd chicken, and save the bones from both in the "soup trash" bag in my freezer. Some of the leftover meat will be wraps later in the week, and the rest will be split in the freezer: white for a future enchilada casserole, dark for the future soup.

Monday, after prepping all the usual fruits/veggies,[b] I'll make a giant vat of chili,[/b] 2/3 of which will be frozen for future meals.

Tuesday: wraps

Wednesday: boil those bones for stock (along with the "trash" of carrot peels, onion peels, etc., which I save after veggie prep) and make soup. I'll either make bread or buy a take-and-bake)

Thursday: chili leftovers

Friday: asst. leftovers (chicken, veg), probably over some pasta

Kids are with their dad over the weekend, so I don't have to worry about that.

I try to batch cook and freeze as often as possible to minimize the amount of work. Wednesdays are my "easy day", when I could possible make bread or bigger projects, but the rest of my time is pretty booked, so I try to cook once and eat 2-4 times from that meal and its leftovers/components.[/quote]

I want chili. I think I'll make some tomorrow. [/quote]

Do it! Make a double or triple batch and freeze it. Future you will thank you![/quote]

I'm doing this because of this thread. I'm going to do a combo of beef, turkey and lentils (weird be we don't like the kidney bean version) and onions, extra tomato and sneak in carrots. Nobody likes peppers except for me so sadly those are out. Hopefully can add enough other veggies for the good benefits without deviating from "chili" too much.

Will make some cornbread with extra corn and sour cream thrown in. [/quote]

Yay! The cult of big-batch chili![/quote]
