Fairly new to MFP - Looking for other mothers of multiples

I don't have twins, exactly... One of mine was a twin, but we lost her sibling in utero. That being said, we're a blended family, and right now our kids are aged 16, 14, 14, 12, 12, and 10!

I hate cooking, too, kind of. I hate cooking after 3pm. That's when I am just worn out. I have started doing a pre-cook kind of deal:

I first make a menu of all the meals we want for two weeks, and try to "use up" all the ingredients I'm going to purchase (like if I need 1/2 a green pepper for one meal, I make sure to incorporate that other half into another meal).

Then, the next day, usually a Saturday, I start prepping. I make all my marinades, cut the chicken/beef the way it's supposed to be, and stick it in a freezer bag. Label with the date, recipe, and cooking method (bake @ 350 for 25 min). Toss it into the freezer. Casseroles can usually be mostly premade and frozen in a pan. And then move on to the next recipe. It sounds like a lot of work, but if I'm already chopping one onion, what's 2 more? Also, if I am going to do any baking, I use ziploc storage bags, and premix all my dry ingredients on this day, too.

It usually takes a few hours to do 2 weeks worth of recipes this way, but during the week, it saves SO much time. I grab a meal from the freezer in the morning to thaw. At dinner, I generally just have to throw it in the oven, or reheat it in a pan on the stove, and add a veggie or two as sides.

It also saves on clean-up time! Think, you only have to wash all your cutting boards, knives, mixing bowls, etc. once every two weeks... Because you don't need them this way.

Also, we eat alot of Asian food, because it tends to be much healthier than traditional American fare. If you'd like a few recipes you can pre-prep, I'd be happy to share them. Just let me know!
