| Freezing Foods aka "Once a Month
Cooking" |
| I love having food in the freezer!
There are places you can go to make frozen foods to
bring home--but I don't recommend those kinds of
places because they are too expensive (calculate how
much you are spending per casserole dish vs. if you
made it at home). The nice thing about "Once a
Month Cooking" is that you can buy some foods in
bulk, which translates to cheaper per pound or per
ounce pricing. If you can, plan it with a
friend. I highly recommend the software
program that you can purchase at 30 Day Gourmet (see
below).

30 Day Gourmet The ladies who created this
site have also written a few books (which is how
I came across their website) about cooking
freezer meals. This website outlines how to
cook meals for the freezer, what the benefits
are, etc. They've also created a software
program specifically for those of you who would
like to cook only once per month & they have a
free trial on their site. It is a VERY USEFUL
program (I think it saved me a TON of time by
calculating things I would have had to calculate
myself), but it is a little clunky to use. As
my husband would say, the "UI" (User Interface)
is not very good. But it works well, so check
it out!

This is the most educational
cookbook I have ever seen,
and the only one I've ever
read like a chapter book. It
is packed with information,
and it will challenge your
way of thinking about food!
Haven't tried making freezer
meals yet? This book is a
great tool to start with! |
