Do any of you make your dinners for the whole week on one day? If so what do you usually make for the week?
I use to do this when I worked about 2 hours away. I would cook on Sundays and place it in the freezer so my husband could take them out and start cooking them. I would make hamburger meat and make taco meat for either tacos or burritos. Roast would be cooked as well for a roast one night and taquitos another. Then I would cook a chicken. We would have chicken mole or enchiladas and make a soup with the left over chicken.
I don't do this on a regular basis, but right before I had my son I made up a bunch of food and froze it so no one would be in the kitchen for long with a new baby in the house. (turns out I had a c-section and COULDN'T be in the kitchen long because I couldn't hardly stand or walk).
A made a few of each...
king's ranch chicken casserole
taco lasagna
chicken enchiladas
regular lasagna
that managed to get us through for quite a while when we needed a hot meal and no one was in the mood to cook, and they taste just as good out of the freezer as they do made fresh.
