Happy anniversary to a lucky, lucky man! I'm hoping Ellie will write a cookbook or at least blog some of these unimaginable meals for unimaginative minds like mine!Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08946222067827722839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685165.post-1104680300080495162005-01-02T10:38:00.000-05:002005-01-02T10:38:00.000-05:00Thank you all for your suggestions. Julie, I have...Thank you all for your suggestions. Julie, I have thought about bulk cooking. A few years ago, I glanced through some cookbooks regarding Month at a time cooking. Its an interesting idea and something I might try when the kids are a bit older and can help. I actually found a book that focussed on week at a time cooking, which was more my speed and from which I took the idea of buying ground beef, cooking it and freezing it in small portions.<br /><br />Kwakersaur, asiago cheese sounds yummy! Some fat is important and if its serves with plenty of lower fat side dishes, that could work for me. I had been avoiding the whole low-carb fad, but I should probably look at it and take from it what is useful.<br /><br />Anne -- I forgot about your enchilada casserole, I found the enchilada sauce too spicy for me, but made the dish without and its really good (I call it easy beany). I have your lentil recipe if you need it -- I had forgotten about that as well! Great ideas, thanks for reminding me.<br />Eggs, a good idea and you could always use egg substitute for part or all of the eggs to reduce fat. My hubby doesn't like eggs, so thats a bit of a barrier, but he's willing to eat what I cook.<br />Tofu, we had one dish, hubby made it, it was delicious. But on my second helping the concept of tofu was disgusting to me. I think maybe if it was sautee'd first I would have liked it more. Too mushy.<br /><br />As to a hot kitchen, crockpots are supposed to be one way to avoid heating up the kitchen.Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08946222067827722839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685165.post-1104521002927129972004-12-31T14:23:00.000-05:002004-12-31T14:23:00.000-05:00You said,

But I just tend to read Jamie Oliver instead. Working ridiculously long hours, I am often starving when I get home and have little energy to cook. So, to avoid a fate of fast food drive thrus and over salted lean cuisine frozen dinners, I end up binge cooking once a month, cooking things like chicken pot pie with grilled chicken, lasagna, mac and cheese primavera, and if I am ambitious my own version of shepard's pie. Then, I freeze them in my handy-dandy corningware, so I can bake it or microwave it later. There ya go, it wasn't a specific recipe but how I handle my own fading enthusiasm when I have spent my cooking energy elsewhere. -JulieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
