Freezing food in batches

[brooke]

I cook a little bit each day. However, I've found that it's a lot stressful on dinner when you cook all of the big things on one day, freeze them, and then just take them out and reheat. For example, lasagna is one of the things I make every week. I will cook it on a Sunday, then freeze it for a dinner. Then, I will cook a little bit for dinner, to add on to the meal.

Do any of you do this too? What are some other ideas for batch cooking?

I've done some batch cooking at times, but I ought to do it more. It's such a good idea.

When I've done it, I've put together enough meals for a few weeks and put them in the deep freeze. This was a hug help to me after my second baby was born! It took a lot of work, and two long cooking sessions, but it was really worth it. Plus, it was fun!
