Need Some Ideas????

So...I have been getting some interest in ladies wanting to join, but not sure where to start.

Here are some thoughts I have on getting started:
  1. Start with a "Main Protein" dish you already know how to do and enjoy eating.
  2. Figure out how many adult size servings it will feed, with a typical serving being about 2-3 ounces of cooked meat. Here is a great resource site on "How Much to Buy".
  3. Then try doubling or tripling your recipe and cooking enough batches to get a total of 10 batches. Check out this site for tips on "Large Batch Cooking".
  4. Portion out the batches into freezer safe containers or bags.
Here are some links recipes that have already been made for large quantity:

Cooking for a Crowd Recipes

Ellen's Tested Quantity Recipes

Recipes for 50-100 People

Another great site is AllRecipes.com. At this site you can find a recipe you like then put in the amount of servings and it will automatically recalculate for you.

Let me know how this works for you!
