Cooking for the week ahead?

Here's a great website if anyone is interested in doing meals they can freeze and just pull out when needed.

There is also a great cook book by the same name....maybe check it out at your local library. I haven't been able to get in the bulk cooking mode though and that's more of what the cookbook is aimed at.

ooh...thx for this site. gonna check it out now!

Thanks everyone. See? I knew my week was going to be busy I have barely had time to check in!


This week should be better but I have to go shopping today for some chicken and meat, we are almost right out!

We spent the early part of this afternoon cooking for the week.

We made a batch of vegetarian rice and beans; Salvadoran red beans this week. (We normally try to keep closer to home with our purchases, but sometimes we like to throw something exotic in. Salvadoran red beans have a more pronounced iron-y flavor -- in a good way, of course.) I've gotta say that I love the automatic rice maker for the brown rice. Makes it really easy and perfect every time.

That'll be dinner a couple of days this week.

We also made a feta, olive, sun-dried tomato and spinach salad (the recipe calls for arugula but we typically use spinach because we can get it more readily, typically organic and/or local, and we can just make up the difference with an extra few grinds of pepper). That'll be lunch a couple of days this week.
