A full day of cooking

Yes I sometimes like to spend a day in the kitchen cooking. I usually plan a grocery list, go shopping. then I plan my day. I like to cook up a bunch of meals and freeze them. It makes it so easy to take something from the freezer and cook it in no time. And since we now have a dishwasher the clean up is much easier.

I enjoy spending the day baking and freeze food for future meals. My favorite foods are muffins and cookies to bake. Many of the cookies and muffins have so many additives in them from the grocery store.

Every now and then, I will get into a cooking mood, but I hate the cleaning up afterwards. Sometimes the kids help me in the kitchen, it just depends on what I am cooking.

oh every week end for me is a big day of whole day cooking. I have to cook for each differently.My son likes noodles, and my daughter likes indian chicken curry,my mother in law is heart patient so some saltless and oilless food for her, my hubby and me mostly like vegetarian, so some vegetables, and pulses and rice and home made bread, and salads and some snaks for breakfast...oh.......by evening i feel so tired.And let me tell you, my son never helps me because he is still small (16 years old.......lol) and my daughter will help only if I will tell her (and she knows I will not tell her much....). But whatever.....I love cooking and I love when all like my cooking.

I sometimes get in the mood to cook, but it sounds like you really went all out. If I'm going to really do a lot of cooking I don't mind if the kids help, but only if they are really helping. I can't have them standing between me and what I'm doing. Hopefully they will be willing to help with cleanup too.

I too love to cook and i enjoy cooking a lot. i love to spend my time in kitchen. i love to make new dishes and i loe to experime nt new dishes which i read here on my lot. some are so eay to experiment and i have a very supportie hubby. he is all the time with je in kitchen i am exploring new things.

I don't often do as much cooking as that but I do enjoy it and usually cook for myself most days. I made a yummy peanut caramel slice the other day and you already know about the vege soup. The trouble with me cooking is that I eat too much. Last night I made a tuna dish and had 1 and a 1/2 helpings. I polished off the rest at lunch time so I'll only have a toasted sandwich for dinner tonight. I love my fried rice but haven't had shepherds pie for years. Tomorrow I'll be making a rich beef curry, and I have an idea in the back of my head to make a chocolate cake. I usually clean up as i go but lately I still have a mountain of washing up at the end of things...hmmm. I don't mind the cleanup usually ...it's the putting everything away that I don't like...lol. Hope your boy is fine now. The sweets will probably make him feel better. Yummy.
