Mega Cooking! Too Chicken To Start

Mega Cooking!
Too Chicken To Start
Four recipes using chicken pieces.

Not all mega cooking means cooking tons on a single day. Some recipes are as easy as buying a bunch at once and repackaging and labeling for specific meals. These chicken dinners are that type. Use heavy freezer bags and label. If a recipe calls for grated cheese, grate for all the recipes at once and put them in bags and attach to the bag of chicken for that recipe. I have to label the cans needed for recipes as well, or put them ion a special designated shelf or my creative children will use the planned ingredients for a different spur-of-the-moment dish. With very few steps you can have several dishes planned and ready for a quick just-toss-together. It makes dinner preparation easier, especially when you have children learning how to cook.

These recipes serve a dozen people. So if your family is smaller...you'll get just that many more dishes for your freezer! I like to spend a day doing the chicken and vegetarian dishes and another doing the beef dishes. When I'm done my Month's Worth usually turns into six weeks worth of planned dishes. It costs up front to buy that much groceries but it saves both money and time over the next several weeks.

References and Resource Recommendations

Managing a kitchen in a large family can be a pretty exhausting task. It certainly isn't something that can take care of itself! With that in mind I am always looking for ways to make the kitchen experience easier, more enjoyable, or just plain manageable. Mega cooking, recipes, teaching children how to cook, organizing the kitchen are just some of the topics addressed in my Kitchen Chaos series. This index contains the entire series, not just the recipes.

Kitchen Chaos Individual Recipe Index

I have posted more than one recipe on each of my cooking pages. For your convenience I have submitted this individual index so you can find which recipe is on which page. I hope you enjoy them. Remember that my recipes are altered to be for a family of twelve. If your family is smaller, many of the recipes can be prepared as is and then divided and frozen for additional meals during stressful times. This index is just for listing the recipes and does not include the other kitchen and cooking articles.
