Once a month cooking.

The other system that is out there is to plan your month of meals and cook, prepare, or half-cook most of your meals. One major grocery list, one shopping day, and one cooking spree and frozen dinners are waiting for you all month. You can easily put a large amount of chicken in a Crock-Pot and make several storage containers of pulled chicken for chicken tacos, burritos, or anything in which you might add chicken. You can even make breakfast burritos all wrapped up for the mornings. Consider making egg, bacon, and biscuit sliders or muffins for the kids to freeze for crazy mornings. This can also be done with a social group, with each person or pair in charge of prepping one or two meals for each family. You co-make 10 lasagnas and ziti then go home with 10 different meals.
