More batch cooking...

So yesterday I was a powerhouse.. I've been taking these new vitamins for about 3 weeks now and wow.. I think I'm a changed woman. I cleaned the house, made a big batch of homemade chicken burgers, had after-school care, went for an hour long walk, came home, tidied up again, made my son's lunch for today and got totally organized for this morning's new before & after school kid. That was in addition to my usual duties and spending lots of time with my kiddies. T best part was when I was tired and ready for bed, I was able to fall asleep. I'm used to laying awake at night thinking about all the things I still need to do. Waking up this morning to a really clean house, lunch made, clothes ready, and everything done was such a treat. I was up by 6:30 and happy about it!

The vitamins are not cheap, but then again I don't think they should be. I try to eat a good balanced diet, but I find I'm usually lacking energy and my blood sugar gets really out of whack, and my iron tends to be low. I also often suffer from digestion woes. The new vitamins have probiotics as well so it's a really good fit for me.

Anyways, with the chicken burgers, it was SO easy. Just dig out the food processor, throw in some couple day old bread, onion, red pepper (or whatever you like) and herbs and seasonings to your taste. I used fresh parsley, and Italian seasoning. Then mix it up with the ground chicken (or beef, or turkey, or tofu..)put in a wee bit of milk, and an egg. I used 3 lbs or so of chicken because I was planning to make extra. I was able to make our dinner, and put away 16 burgers for the freezer! That's 3-4 more meals. And it wasn't any harder than making one batch for dinner. I am loving this. Feeding my family good nutritious food, and feeding the freezer at the same time. Before I know it I will have a freezer full of good food, and the hardest part about dinner will be having to decide what to pick!

I'd love to hear about your favorite big batch recipes!

Enjoy your day.
