Meal Plan: Bunches of Batch Cooking

“A man ought to eat what’s offered and be glad to get it!” ~ Rose Watson, Mitford Series

My freezer is depleted thanks to the last couple month’s worth of freezer/pantry challenges and good, cheap eats. So, it’s time to batch cook again. Maybe a mini Big Cook. I’ll use what I have on hand in the big wheat barrels plus pick up bags of beans.

And of the batch cooking can turn into Cooking Fun with the children. Here’s what I’m thinking:

Batch cook with freshly ground whole wheat

  • muffins
  • pancakes (Benefits of the Batch on $5 Dinners)
  • oatmeal flax chocolate chip cookie dough

All of the above made with Egg Substitute. That batch cooking will fill in for breakfasts and sides.

Food FacePlus some:

  • Brittney Biscuits
  • beans and/or black-eyed peas in the slow cooker

The rest of the menu will be simply meals x 2:

  • Spaghetti x 2 (Plain ol’ sketti, Cheesy Pasta, Jenny’s Pink Sauce)

Breakfast for Supper x 2 (any of the following: biscuits and gravy, breakfast casserole, quiche, slow cooker grits, morning bars)

  • Veggie Plate x 2 (beans or peas, cornbread or hoe cake, greens)
  • Pizza x 2 (Pizza bites, bagel or bun pizzas, stromboli)

Sandwich Glory x 2 (Homemade bread in 10 minutes topped with Pimento Cheese, Sunbutter® or just a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey)

  • From the freezer x 2 (Casserole with cooked chicken from Batch Cooking Chicken in the Slow Cooker)
  • Slow Cooker Sundays x 2 (Any of the favorites from Fast Food for Slow Sundays or Month Long Slow Cooker Celebration)

From the freezer: Italian Stuffed Shells from Today’s Tripling Ends up 5 Meals

Celebrations! My contribution to the family Easter gathering? Lime Cake

Thank you for the world so sweet,

Thank you for the food we eat,

Thank you for the birds that sing,

Thank you, God, for everything. Amen

About Hodgepodgemom

Tricia faces a daily dose of chaos homeschooling five children. The biggest lesson she’s learned? At the end of the day – when the dishes are put away and the children are tucked in bed – truly what matters is each child’s relationship with the Lord. Raising children is a God-given privilege and, folks, the time is short.
