Dump recipes
Ive decided that in order to fit in all the things I want to do in a day let alone all the things I need to do in a day, I need to become a little more time savvy.
In the lead up preparation time to my son's 3rd birthday, we've been eating the contents of my freezer. It started out purely so we could fit in the party pies, sausage rolls, chips and other party fare but then it got me thinking. So if a freezer full of meals can help me fit in a month of party preparation, I wonder what it would do to my regular lifestyle.
So in usual Amber style, I threw myself in head first and started researching what I needed to do to start a cooking style similar to OAMC or once a month cooking. Now I'm not planning to cook all our family meals for a month in one go (some people do and all power to them) but having a well stocked freezer of at least 3 meals a week would be ideal.
And then I discovered them concept of dump recipes.
Yes, I had the same reaction. It didn't sell itself straight away. But then I read on. The concept is really quite ingenious. Throw or "dump" some marinade ingredients along with your chosen meat into a large ziploc bag and freeze. When you want to use it, thaw it in the fridge over night, "dump" it into your slow cooker and dinner is served! 2 birds killed with 1 stone. So my next challenge to myself is to try at least 1 dump recipe in the next week. If it works, I'll post the recipe.
Bon appetit.
