Crash Cooking: What is it? & a Bust the Cholesterol Menu

Crash cooking is when you plan to make tons of meals in one day (or night), and get er done!  That’s right — 12-14 meals in the freezer.  Once you try it you will never, ever, ever go back to what you’ve done before.  You can read step by step instructions here.  Here’s the latest menu that I did with my sweet friend who is pictured above (the headband is a key accessory for cooking days btw).

Ron’s Supreme Spaghetti Sauce

Oven Fried Chicken

Fish Tacos with Chipotle Cream

Chicken Parmesan (healthier version)

Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

Roasted Salmon with Shallot Grapefruit Sauce

Sloppy Joe Di Maggios

Turkey Meatballs with quick & spicy tomato sauce 

Peanut Chicken Dish

Cooks Illustrated Kung Pao Chicken

Cincinnati Chili

Baked White Fish with Pesto

Thai Shrimp

Salmon Burgers

You can download the shopping list here.  I use MacGourmet, which is a cooking program for my Mac computer.  The grocery list doesn’t translate the best into word, but it will still save you time!  It lists the ingredient you need, the recipe it is for, and the store to buy it (Costco or grocery – I use Fred Meyer so that is what mine says).

I always put a list up in my kitchen that has all of the meals listed with cooking directions (above).  You can this menu’s list HERE.
