Relieve Stress With Bulk Cooking
By Bridgett Raffenberg

Every busy person knows that one of the most stressful times of day can be the "What's for Dinner?" hour.   After a long and busy day, the thought of making supper often leads to stress and anxiety.  This often leads to the thought of going through the drive thru or stopping to pick up a "reheat" type meal at the grocery.

But what if you could have a hot and nutricious meal ready for you every night?  Just a bit of planning and cooking ahead can allow you to relieve all that "what's for dinner" stress.  And the way to do that is with bulk cooking.

Sometimes referred to as once a month cooking(oamc) or twice a month cooking (tamc), bulk cooking consists of making meals ahead of time and in bulk.  You choose a recipe that freezes well and make more than one "batch".  Very often, bulk cooking involves making three or four times what you would normally make for just one night.

Bulk cooking can be done in multiple ways.

    * You can make a double batch of what you're cooking tonight and freeze it.
    * You can cook for one afternoon (evening, whatever) and make meals that will last a few weeks
    * You can take one long day a month and make meals that will last you an entire month

Just think of the relief you will have when you know that you have dinner in the fridge waiting to be warmed.  Bulk cooking is a great way to make this happen.  You simply remove a dish from the freezer each night and let it defrost in the refrigerator.  When you come home all you have to do it get the dish cooking, whether that's in the oven, on the stove or on the grill.  Many recipes even work well with the slow cooker.

Having meals made ahead is also a great stress reliever. What are you waiting for?!
