Yes, but my problem right now is that I basically have one day a week at home, into which I must jam everything that has to be done for the week. Laundry, bread-making, the once-every-other-week cheese batch--I already have more than I can easily do, and I also have to spend part of that time putting together the paperwork for the coming week's work. Plus the once a month recipes I've seen included a lot of things I won't use--canned soups, pasta mixes, and so on. And we stay in extended stay hotels with full kitchens, so I can and do cook on the road. Making large batches of things once a month wouldn't really help me that much, and my freezer is already jammed full of food anyway.
Have you looked into Once a Month Cooking? I've never done
it, but I always made big meals that would make more than
one meal every meal on the weekend and figured out what
simple things I would add during the week to "stretch them
out".
The answer for me is to cut back on the amount of work I'm doing so I can spend more time at home. As Paul pointed out, a lot of other people are doing the same thing, most of them not by choice. I'm not happy about the loss of income, but I think it's essential to enlarge the garden and get more fruit trees and berries planted, so that's what I've chosen to do.
