Its the Weekend - and I'm cooking on All Four Burners
When my neighbor came over to see how it is that we spend our day, one of the things we talked about is meal prep. I'm not obssessive about it or anything, I just like to try to make sure my family is taken care of. Her remark, "I'm strictly a meat and potatoes cook, I can toss a salad if they really need a veggie." Oh, my! Tucker LIVES on fruits and veggies. I have to really work to get anything else in him.
So even though I had already stocked my freezer and pantry with enough food to take care of a bunch of high school guys with a tape worm, I was BACK at the store last night. Today, I'm doing something I haven't done in a while, and the family is intrigued. I'm using my "once a month cooking" book to put together meals that I will then place in the freezer. All they have to do is take it out and warm it up. Each meal gets tagged with an index card that says what sides to put with it. How's that for overkill? By golly, my baby WILL have veggies in his life. (With ketchup on top if he wants it. LOL)
Surfing around this morning, I noticed that Moniet has a couple of fun quizzes on her site. Usually, any quiz she posts, I get the same answer she does, but today, I've gone off in my own direction with the leading man quiz.
Who's Your Leading Man?
Now that you've answered some provocative questions about your preferences, it's time to reveal the identity of your leading man!
Brooding MoonYou’re attracted to sensitive, intense men who are influenced by the emotional, ever-changing Moon. Actors such as Tobey Maguire, Johnny Depp, Josh Hartnett and Ethan Hawke would make perfect leading men for you because they care deeply about their craft. Popular actors who live life like it's a fraternity party do nothing for you; you're more interested in a star's depth and artistic soul. Your leading man needs to be in touch with his feelings, for it makes his performance that much more genuine (and there's something incredibly sexy about a man who isn’t afraid to share his vulnerable side!) His heartfelt musings are sure to make you swoon. A Moon Man can be moody and temperamental, though, so make sure you give him a little room to brood when he's feeling misunderstood by the cold, cruel world.
On a completely different and odd note, I almost never pay attention to such things as how many subscribers I have. I'll be honest, the number makes me nervous. I start thinking that so many readers must mean so many expectations. Over the past three weeks, I've picked up 18 subscribers. But the total number of people subscribed to my site has gone down by 5. LOL This is why I DON'T pay attention to the numbers.

That's pretty cool about the once a month meals, I don't ahve enough freezer room for that, but I love to do the crock pot three meals in one trick. And we have to have veggies at this house :smile:
I'm off in just a second to try that quiz out myself. But a few comments...
You amaze me... all that bulk cooking! I tried it once with vegetable stock.... Dr. Weil recommends subsituting this for water in recipies to add micro-nutrients to the diet. So I made it. Took me HOURS, all day even! I froze all but one container of it. By the time I was ready for the next container, it had all turned black in the tubs in the freezer. Had to throw it out
Good idea, maybe I did something wrong, but I don't feel like chancing another wasted effort to try again 
I like the idea of bulk cooking, but don't have that big of a chunk of time... except maybe this weekend... but that's extremely rare.
Have a great weekend!
I like that -organized!!
I still think it kind of funny that my old site has more subbers to it then my current site! I guess they didnt get the memo that I am not there anymore LOL
Have a great weekend!!
I've been noticing your comments too! I'm glad that you stopped by to say hello.
LOL If it makes you feel better I changed two ansers and got Moon guys...but I went with the first result, because it really IS what I like.
My readers fluctuate all the time...I didn't post for a week and gained 3, and once I lost 5 in a day after I posted that I was having a VERY good day...guess they wanted to fix that for me...LOL
I don't like watching those numbers either ~ might make me weirder than need be, LOL! // Holy cow, that is one sentence full of hunks! // Go Mom! Tucker's preferences are much better for him! Don't worry about them... you'll never go, LOL! // Thanks for your kind comments. I forget when you leave, but have a great time!
Once a month cooking intrigues me. Maybe I should put my deep freeze back to work.
not enough freezer room here either..but good idea..
You cooked for the whole month?? Good greif! I'm lucky to KNOW what I'm cooking for the week. LOL
:wave: I don't comment much, but I do read your site. We share a lot of the same SIR names. Do the index cards hold up well in the freezer? :laugh:
What? You dont index card and zip lock your reader list?
For shame!
Sail on... sail on!!!
Good.. but long... Read.
Go here.
This is why I never leave my kids--it's too much work to prepare to leave
. I'd love a cook once a month cook book. So far all I have done is make about two weeks worth of waffles. I hope you are having a great weekend!
what's really strange to me is when I get an ostensibly new subscriber that I could've sworn had already been a long-time subscriber!
Alright--i'll bite. I've pretty much lurked for awhile. so i am popping here and saying HI!
Dana
Considering the fact that I'm not a good cook although I do try..my child doesn't always get the best meals she could have. She's healthy and happy so I guess I should be thankful for that. I do the best I can. You sound like a great mom!
I would bet your cooking is to die for!
