Bulk Cooking

Its been a busy week of bulk cooking....here is the tally thus far:

5 side dishes of "healthier" mac n cheese
4 batches of Tomato & Basil Soup
4 batches of Chicken Tetrazzinni (minus the chicken)
4 batches of Pasta Con Broccoli

Next up is Spinach Cannelloni. Think I'll wait until next week..I'm a little cooked out!

When you cook in bulk you've always got lots of dishes to clean...see exhibit A for my drying rack from just today's cooking:

Here is a look at our outside freezer right now with the main dishes & some yummy Morningstar soy nuggets I got on sale:

and handy dandy label maker to easily label, date and apply cooking instructions on my goodies:

Below is the recipe below, for Pasta Con Broccoli. I use milk (and less than it calls for) instead of cream and we leave out the mushrooms.  If I'm going to freeze it like I did today, I do not reduce down the liquid as it states. It'll soak up some of the liquid when its freezing and re-heating.
