im a newbie to the group/OAMC

This is what it is for us: I select recipes that freeze well (and preferably

those that would freeze well in a gallon size ziploc - they take up less room in

your freezer!), buy or assemble all the ingredients the week before, wear

comfortable shoes and cook all day. Once a month. I usually make anywhere from

15-21 meals and usually that means some favorite recipes get doubled. Just

label (very important; i learned the hard way!) the containers/bags and freeze.

Dinner prep means thawing the night before and tossing it in a skillet or oven

or crockpot before serving. We save money on our grocery bill this way and I

think less food gets wasted, goes bad, etc

I usually do this on Saturdays and my mom comes over to help (she likes to clean

as we go and that helps tremendously!) And then on Saturday night after i have

filled our freezer, we all go out to dinner because i'm so pooped out! haha!

 

Thanks, K for the Ellen's Kitchen site! Awesome! I can't believe I haven't

seen it earlier.
