I cook in bulk, particularly with “scraps.” I have a large glass storage bowl where I collect vegetable and fruit “scraps,” anything from cucumber ends to those 5 strawberries in the basket that aren’t nice enough to serve. About twice a week I throw it all into the crockpot with any meat scraps I have (uncooked trimmings / carcasses) and make broth. I use the strained broth (stock) as the fluid to make rice / grains or simmer with fresh noodles / veg for soup. Since I started this I’ve calculated that I am getting nearly twice the meals for the same $.
