Once a month cooking.

I am tired! My mom and I planned to do some freezer meals to help out on nights she has class and cub scout nights and such. I have the Once a month cooking cookbook but saw that they came out with a new one called Once a month cooking -Family Favorites. So we picked out the month plan that best catered to our taste, they also have two week stints if you want to do a smaller amount. The book is awesome because it spells out how much of what you need and makes a shopping list for you and also tells you how much to prepare at one time so you aren't going back and forth chopping. You chop and prepare in one phase and bag everything together in the other. Now it took me a long time!! I started at 9 in the morning and stopped at 5:30 a I finished 22 meals. I am going to go back to my moms and finish the other 10 tomorrow. But it so nice to now she has a months worth of dinners done! Just thaw and follow the directions, which is to put in oer for 45 min and dinner it done! Much faster that preparing every night and better than fast food and better on you wallet and waistline for going out to eat! Just as easy as getting a stoffers lasagna but taste better and a variety of meals. She has chicken, beef and fish and only one casserole. I love it! I know when I get my own place I will do it for our household. There are so many websites dedicated to help you plan OAMC (Once a month cooking)
