Re: once a month/ once a week cooking

i cook the pasta well but i don't overcook it. then they key thing is to drain out all the water out of it so it doesn't get soggy when it defrost.

nekkid pasta freezes beautiful......

i cook up a big batch &amp; freeze it in serving size baggies....i live alone, so 1 serving per bag

when i want pasta, i boil water, pop in the frozen pasta...by the time it un clumps, it's ready

well di cooking is one ting but layering or preparation of the other ingredients prior to baking is time consuming.

Blank I can see with the lasagna but anything else should be easy enough.

Re: once a month/ once a week cooking

so i dont think i am goin to continue the freeze thing for meats.

it works great for soup and shepperd's pie and lasagna but mi no enjoy the meat.

di oxtail pigs tail an beef tek soo lang fi defrost mi feel like mi cooking all over again. LOL

and the thing i notice by time it defrost some di gravy kinda dry out. some piece a meat did get too dry in one case.

maybe i need to not cook it all the way or maybe i need to have more gravy in each container

x man's idea is pretty good too. never though of that.

As far as leftovers, some cooked meals, including curry goat, taste <span style="font-style: italic">better</span> the next day anyway.
