Not the same every day.
I freeze the containers and have one of those once a week.
Sheesh.

I figured so, thats what I do, like with my sausage bean pan dish. Some days I like cooking something up on the spot, other days I'm to lazy so would sooner reheat something.

What are the others you make in bulk and freeze?  I do a pork butt stew.

Macaroni cheese, chicken curry, various stews, soups.
Buying meat in bulk, like packs of 12 pork steaks, burgers, gammon steaks, turkey slices, sausages and freeze them individually.
Turkey (breast) slices 6 or 8 breadcrumbed all at once, freeze them for Schnitzels and fry one on the day.

Usually, there is enough food in the freezer for 4 - 5 weeks.
Then I do another cookout and fill up the freezer again.

It is more economical this way, saving time, electricity.
Years of practice.

More butt, like "more cow bell" ;-)

That is how a kosher Jewish kitchen is run by a Jewish wife.  She simply doesn't cook after sundown on Fridays.  But it is OK to reheat ;-)

We are very similar in that regard.  I smoke a pork butt, make 6 quarts of pork stew, and freeze the bulk in 4 ounce containers.  Steak comes from 1.5" slices of a delmonico half.  Chicken things go 10 at a time baked in 3 ways.  Bread crumbed, lemon slices and green olives, and garlicky.  And I usually have a dozen maple sausages from to use with eggs and toast.

Basil, How To Grow More Than You Can Eat

Love my basil.  And so easy to grow!  Goes with almost everything.  I had a ham and basil sandwich just yesterday.

dry? Nothing to give it some moisture? I could make one but I'd need to mix something with the ham and basil to give it a less dry taste. maybe some light mayo.

Sorry, I assumed a light mayo spread.  Always prefer that.  But you make a good point.  I had a friend once who offerred me a chicken sandwich,  2 slices of bread, a thin slice of chicken, and that was IT!  LOL!  Nothing at all else.  I didn't exactly ask to eat lunch there again...

Some cream cheese would probably be nice too.

Edit: this made me think of a really nice meal I made once. I put some chicken breast in a zip lock bag and hammered them out flat. Then I filled them with cream cheese and chives and a little garlic powder. Then wrapped the meat around the filling, and wrapped bacon around them (can use turkey bacon if you want to make it healthier).

looked like this.



Had mine with some oven roasted new potatoes seasoned.

Edit: can also use cut up mushroom and spinach mixed with the cream cheese

No pics, but slice the top off jalapeno peppers, core, and stuff with cream cheese, minced garlic, onion, chive, and cilantro.  Wrap with bacon.  Yummy.

The cookies I said I was going to make, a while back.

And some soup made with (partially) home-grown vegetables (of my father in law).
