Review Of Once A Month Cooking
from:The theory behind once a month cooking is for an entire month’s dinners/meals to be cooked one weekend a month. How this happens is that you cook that weekend, and then freeze the meals for use throughout the month.
You can tackle your once a month cooking in one of three different ways. They can choose to make double batches of your favorite recipes. They can choose to make as many as twenty different recipes. Or they can choose to make basic starter meals, and build on them during the month.
You need to have a plan in order to handle once a month cooking. There are several websites available that offer planning and shopping lists for those of you who do not have the time or the organization skills to plan this way. For those who are organized make sure all plans are written down in advance - the recipes, the amounts of food to be made, and the grocery list. You need to be sure that they have all the necessary supplies as well as freezer bags and storage containers. It is also a good suggestion to keep a notebook or a piece of paper on the freezer to keep track of what meals are available.
Some plans suggest dividing the chores in to three days over the weekend. On Friday complete all the shopping. It is recommended to not start the cooking after the shopping. On Saturday start the cooking process, and finish the cooking on Sunday. To make the plan even easier you can choose to divide the work with a partner.
Tips and recommendations for once a month cooking:
• You need at least one crock pot to cook up tough cuts of meats for stews or barbeques. It is recommended that you should get as many as you can.
• Pre-cut the vegetables the night before. Use a food processor if you have one.
• Plan how the cooking session will go. What foods will start the day, and where the day will end.
• If you have young children, try and get someone to watch the kids for the day.
• Wash the dishes as the plan progresses. This keeps the mess under control, and prevents a pile up of dishes at the end of the day.
Once a month cooking can help people who are busy, who need to save money, or just want the ease of mind knowing there is food for dinner.
