Does anyone cook once a month (OAMC)? I could never master it but I do have recipes that I double up on and freeze so I have dinner at another time. Sarah's post about not cooking recently got me to remembering that I did a lot of cooking and freezing of dinners before my daughter was born so I could 'relax' (hah!) after I brought her home and got through those first few rough weeks. (holy run on sentence, batman!) I try to be organized like that but it doesn't always work out.

i never have, but maybe i should think about freezing some meals for when i get home after my c-section. i thought about making lasagna and freezing it, but then i don't know how long to bake it for. so, stupid question, how do you know how long to bake frozen things for if you usually make them normally?

Does a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter count?

I just take it out of the freezer in the morning and put it in the fridge (or the night before so it would be completely thawed) and bake as usual. However, DO NOT put the cheese on the very top before you freeze it because the cheese melts and cooks WAY faster than the rest and somehow it doesn't work. I just put the sauce on the top and the cheese topping in a ziplock baggie and tape it to the top of the lasagna.

I'm one of those kind of people who cooks to taste and who cares if the recipe is different this time or next time. So I don't really have recipes, I just throw stuff in.

My potato soup is different EVERY time I've ever made it. And every single time my husband says, "Oh, I love this soup, it always tastes better every time you make it." Silly man.

Things I like to make a lot of and than freeze are, sweet and sour meatballs (super easy recipe), chili, spaghetti sauce. Things like that defrost real well, you just throw it in a pot after and heat it up.

That soup sounds good.

I went on a cruise once and they had this recipe for vegetarian curried cauliflower and I've never been able to replicate it. Now I wonder if it was really 'all that' or if I've just built it up in my mind to be the perfection of veg curried cauliflower...

Maybe a little bit of both?
