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.

That's an interesting choice for dinner in one week lcsamano. It mus be very tiring to do it in one day. We don't really do that because my mom is always at home. I think cooking like that is helpful especially everybody is working.

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.

I work 2hrs away now but I am a single mom and so I need it to be easy so the kids 10, 11 can pull it out and put it in. They only get home about a 1/2 hr before me.

What you did sounds pretty doable though. Thanks
