Could it be Cook Once Serve Twice or Thrice? Haven't started the whole meal planning thing yet. Running into resistence from hubby who is scared we will be stuck eating things we don't like or want simply because it is on the menu. (He does lions share of cooking.) Have any of you run into this problem and do you have any advice. I don’t know what C.O.S.T. means either. Could it be Cook Once Serve Twice or Thrice?

Even when I make a big pot of spaghetti sauce, it's used 3-4 times before it's done. I do this all the time, with pork, ground beef and chicken.

My meatloaf often becomes the 'meatballs (ok cubes) in sauce later in the week and we love using leftover pork for BBQ sandwiches.

Our local supermarket often has meat specials, where I can get whole chickens for less than $5! And they often do a 5/$20 sale; the cuts of meat are usually pretty good, and if done correctly, I can usually end up basically getting 2 of those 5 meats for free.<br /><br />I have always spent several hours hovering over the stockpot as the bones boiled. I never thought of making the stock in my crockpot over night! That's a great idea! Thanks! I love doing this.
