Busy Woman's Guide to BIG COOKING

About the Book

The Busy Woman’s Guide to BIG COOKING is really a cooking “system” for preparing once-a-month freezer meals, rather than a typical cookbook. This system provides a streamlined method for preparing dinners for a family of five featuring ground beef, chicken and cooked beans. Some of the key features are: • Buying ingredients in bulk • Piggybacking recipes that share common ingredients • Built-in allowance for flexibility/substituting your family’s favorites • Inexpensive and easy recipes Two companion BIG COOKING modified mini versions are also included that can be prepared in just a few hours (one featuring ground beef, one featuring chicken). These allow maximum adaptability for individual preferences while prioritizing meal prep efficiency.
