Looking for bulk-cooking and freezer friendly recipes

I'd highly recommend looking into slow-cooker recipes. I use mine several times a week to make paleo chili and curry (a simple google search will help out with that). I have a 4 quart cooker, and it'll last me 1-2 days depending on how much I'm working out. Plus you can usually just stick the pot in the fridge, so there's no need to transfer it into tupperware (unless that's your thing).

Chilis, soups, stews (anything in a crock pot) shall become your new best friend. Here is a pot roast recipe, and here is a curry recipe I've used and liked. The cool things with this is that you can add whatever veggies you like (within reason), and make this "your own". These also freeze well.

For other ideas, here is a paleo "pizza caserole" which makes a 9x13 pan of delicious, a broccoli-cashew salad thing which keeps for a week at least, and some paleo chicken nuggets I've made which were tasty. All of these are as scale-able as you want to make them.

My other go-to is this: you can get 5 italian sausages, 1 onion, 2 green peppers, and some pasta sauce, and make that last 4 meals for me. I put the sausages in a microwave-safe container, cover it with cling wrap, and microwave for 5 mn (this helps cook the inside some). Then, head up a 12" skillet on medium-high and put the sausages in. Sear the outside as much as you can, then add maybe a half cup of water and cover. Let the steam help it cook more of the insides. Be sure to turn them every so often, though not as often as when the water isn't there. I usually use this time to cut up the onion and peppers (I'm not sure of a word for this, but imagine cutting a slice of onion in quarters - that size). Once most of the water is gone, uncover and keep an eye on them, turning them often, while the rest of the water goes away. Then, they're done! Pull one sausage out and slice down the middle to make sure it's done. If they are, remove them all from the pan; if not, pour another 1/4 c of water in the pan, cover, and repeat from before. Once you remove the sausages, dump all your cut up onion and pepper in the same pan. The little meat bits left will come off and both keep the things from sticking and provide awesome flavor for the veggies. Cook them until they're softened some, but still have a crunch. Put sausage and veggies on plate and pour a small amount of marinara on top. Dinner. Cheap. Delicious. Quick. Amazing :)

I have a public evernote notebook that I post recipes to (paleo ones are tagged as such). Here's the link. Feel free to browse. Otherwise, just read a bunch of paleo blogs and you can find great ideas (I use google reader to keep track of these and a bunch more). For really cheap and easy meals, my go-to's are: Paleo on a Budget (whose post today is a beef stew, as circumstance would have it), Paleo Parents, or Nom Nom Paleo. Everyday Paleo also has great recipes, and Mark's Daily Apple posts them fairly regularly, they just tend to be a little less "quick and dirty" like the first three.

But yeah. Keep rockin. Don't let the busyness stop you from your health goals!

I addition to crock-pot stuff, this lady has a rather amazing selection of things for once/month cooking.

i'm the laziest in the kitchen and i work full time so i do a bulk cooking sesh on sunday where i cook for lunch and snacks for the whole week that i freeze. nothing extravagant and no set recipe.

for lunch: 1.5-2kg of beef mince x any vegetables (carrots, radish, turnip, spinach, pumpkin, parsnip, celery usually) i have x any spices i have. this never gets boring because it always tastes different as i never write down what i exactly use when i cook.

snacks: lamb liver sauted in butter and salt, pepper, chilli. i buy enough so that it lasts for the whole week. i usually then pair this with ready to eat salad and olive oil.

sometimes i buy chicken thighs and just marinade them in olive oil, rosemary, thyme and lemon and chuck those in the oven.

store all the above in containers. easy.

Chicken soup!! Here's my recipe it will make about 15 servings if you use a large bird and lots of veg...

Get a stock pot, throw in a whole chicken 4-5lbs is a good size. Add chopped onions carrots celery salt pepper oregano parsley garlic and onion powder 1 small can of tomato sauce and one or two cans of diced or stewed tomatoes (watch for non paleo ingredients in there). Fill with water till it covers the chicken. Bring to boil then reduce to simmer and cover. Simmer that for 1 1/2 hours. Then pull out the chicken. Watch out for bones falling out into the soup. Skim off the fat with a ladle. Add in a shit load of kale greens with stems removed and kind of chopped up a bit. Simmer for another 10 mins with kale. Pull meat off chicken and add it back in. Enjoy!

Electric pressure cookers are awesome if you don't have time. I just made an awesome pot roast - I have about 2.5 pounds of meat, turned it into... uh.. well, it's been 5 meals now but there's still a chunk left.

Here's my recipe. I use a trivet inside my pressure cooker to keep the meat from being boiled.

Chop meat into smaller pieces (I made 3 chunks). Season meat with salt, pepper, and anything else you'd like. I have these little bottles of "steak seasoning" my grandmother got me - she's crazy for the stuff. Turn the pressure cooker onto "browning" mode. Or just use a pan, I guess. Luddite! Brown your meat with half a diced onion and some garlic. Pull meat out, put trivet in bottom, then put meat back inside, onto trivet. Add some liquid (broth, booze, whatevs, you don't need a lot, maybe half a cup max). Cook on high for 45 minutes. Then depressurize the natural way, pull meat out and place in bottom of pot with the liquid. Add veggies to trivet and carefully balance on top of the meat. Cook another 20 minutes on high, again depressurizing naturally.

The trick is finding veggies that need about the same amount of cooking time. I did sweet potatoes and carrots. They were a touch mushy but I like them that way. Then I strained out the gunk from what was left in the pot and made a gravy with some arrowroot. I'm not sure if arrowroot is paleo or not. I'm not paleo per se, I just have a lot of food allergies and paleo plays nicely with them.
