Things I Make In Bulk And Freeze

We have reached the phase that I always knew was coming.  My boys eat, a lot.  Gone are the days where we can order a child size meal at a restaurant.  They now both eat more than I do in a sitting.  

I love to cook and I love to cook a lot at one time and freeze foods to use later.  

I usually bake my No-Knead Bread twice a week, three to four loaves at a time.  

I give a loaf away to friends and neighbors and freeze one for the weeks I don't have time to make it. 

I also make pizza crust which freezes well and dinner rolls. 

Stock is another staple in my house.  I bake a chicken, turkey or duck once a week.
Then I make stock using the carcass and whatever vegetables I have in the house.  

The stock I use for various meals, freeze or use it to make soup. 

 I buy and we eat a lot of bananas.  In fact, I tell the monkeys that the 'kitchen is closed' between meals and that the only 'snack' they can have is fruit.  A banana is a sure bet to fill them up.  

We freeze the brown bananas and make either ice cream (just blend over rip bananas and freeze) or banana bread which we eat as 'picnic' meals or for breakfast.  I make four at a time and then slice three of them up and freeze in easy to defrost slices. 

 Below are meat balls.  I try to always have meatballs in my freezer.  Easy to make in bulk easy to take out for a meal.  I use the ends of my No-Knead Bread to add extra moisture and generally only  use turkey meat.  Below is also a burrito dish- rice, ground turkey and salsa- easy to make, easy to freeze.
