[contrary1]

I've just switched my need to cook big meals and I'm still getting used to it.

I've been cooking or putting together at least..............3 meals a day for up to 6 people for years....and now, I don't have to except for the week ends, and then it is only 4 at the most. What a change!!!

I try to really cook on Fri & Sat.........then I don't have to do much the rest of the week. I too, use the cook once, eat twice theory.........or cook once, eat for a week........even better.

I'm big on putting food in the freezer to take out at a later date and do something totally different with. Mainly roasts, meats, etc...........already cooked packages of them in the freezer are my emergency meals.....we don't do eating out, nor do we do take out....

So, I guess I'm cooking about 12 real meals a week and eating the leftovers in between. Works for me.
