I do the batch cooking. I love to be in the kitchen so I will make extra of a couple meals a week to have ready for those extra crazy days that I have forgotten to get something out of the freezer to prepare. It makes life so simple to know there is always something ready for dinner even when you don’t have time that day to prepare it.

My vote is for “other”! Like the others, I do a combo…some meals I double for freezing, I usually keep shredded chicken and browned beef in the freezer, and I do semi-OAMC thanks to this site

I didn’t vote twice since I’m really more batch cooking (like like the choc chip breakfast cake or apple struesel muffins) but I do occasionally veer into bulk cooking. I don’t usually do OAMC just do to time and picky-eating [my own!]

Batch cooking works for me. I want to be organized enough to do OAMC but I’m starting with baby steps – batch cooking.

I voted Other. I use a combination of Batch, Bulk and Freezer Cooking methods. I rarely make up an entire month’s worth of meals, but rather I pick and choose recipes to only make 1 or 2 weeks’ worth at a time (Freezer Cooking). Tomorrow I am making tuna casserole and freezing some of it (Batch). Last month DH smoked a whole turkey (my favorite!) and I used the meat in several casseroles (Bulk).

I usually make breakfast items on a separate Baking day once or twice a month. Our favorite is waffles, so I always make those. I also might make muffins, breads, and pancakes. We really like the pizza roll-ups, so I make them on Baking day with the breakfast foods since the oven is already on.

I do a combination of the different methods. This seems to work best for me. Every time I try to do the stick OAMC method, something comes up that keeps me from completing the task. lol!
