I’m so thankful to bulk cook with a group of other ladies. I’ve done it a few times by myself, but not enough to get all of the kinks worked out.

Our next bulk cook day is Feb. 20. We cook once every 2 months.

Wow Toni. I mean, sure the list looks do-able…but then I see all those things that use the oven and I think ‘she totally needs 2 ovens.’ Then again you have enough older kids you can just set at least one of them on managing the oven timer, and get those baked goods in and out of the oven quickly.

Oh, and I don’t know if you have made your own bagels before, but YUM. I had never had a bagel that tasted so yummy as one fresh from the oven. Of course, it was nowhere near round, but it was satisfying both physically and in a “wow I made that” way.

Sounds delicious but it makes me tired just looking at your list. What a great idea to make breakfast foods ahead of time too! I always think of freezing dinners but breakfast slips my mind.

After many years of 7+children(and 27 foster sons over the years)I felt like I was the master of bulk cooking,I use to spent 1 Saturday a month making about 40 meals for lunch and dinner.At first it may seem difficult but with good planning and time management you will be surprised at how easy it really is Good luck every one.

Freeze after they are fried, but before baking.

I make granola in bulk as well. My family eats it so fast, we are a family of 5. I don’t think people realize how easy it is to make some things from scratch. It does take time and I wonder if that scares people off but I have to tell you how rewarding it is to see how much your family enjoys it! Lately I have been cooking a little extra and freezing it to go along with other meals, like extra roast beef and roast chicken. I will have those meats available to make other dishes during the busy work week.
