I plan ahead my meals and do bulk cooking (freezer cooking) to free up my time during the week. It always involves a big day of planning and shopping, which I dread. A big cooking day which is OK, especially if someone helps me clean up afterward. Then anywhere from a week to a month of meals that take a few minutes to heat and virtually no clean up afterward- this is the part I *LOVE*.

These is my dinner rotation for the next month:

1. White bean soup and cornbread
2. BBQ baked chicken with fresh Brussel sprouts
3. Sweet and sour pork with rice
4. Creamy pasta bake (vegetable side to be determined)
5. Southwest cornbread with pork chops and fresh green beans
6. Split pea soup with salad and garlic rolls
7. Chicken pot pie
8. Enchilada pie with green salad
9. Chicken and dumplings and salad
10. Manhattan clam chowder and garlic bread sticks
11. Mexicali casserole
12. Baked Chicken with undetermined sides
13. Meatloaf with garlic mashed potatoes
14. Parsley Parmesan chicken
15. Chicken a la king
16. Meatloaf with garlic mashed potatoes and salad
17. Crock-pot pork BBQ
18. Cashew chicken and vegetables for side
19. Swiss steak, garlic mashed potatoes and green vegetable
20. Spaghetti and garlic bread sticks
21. Crock pot beef stew (goulash)
22. Minestrone soup with bread and salad
23. New England Clam Chowder with bread and salad
24. Beef Stroganoff with noodles and side of veggies
25. Meatballs, rice and vegetables to be determined
26. Beef and barley soup with salad and rolls
27. Chicken fingers and sides
28. Chicken enchiladas and sides

My next step is to make a big grocery store and Costco run to get the ingredients for about half these meals (plus lunch and breakfast foods.) This list is made so I’m ready to go.
