I was an avid Once A Month cooker for a few years. But kids, moving, diet changes and life got in the way and I didn't set aside the time to do it. It just fizzled away. BUT now, I have TEENagers!! And they like to eat, and cook, so there you go. A perfect combination for getting back on that horse.
There are some great go-to recipes I have used that I can't wait to get back to. Of which I will certainly share with you as we make them.
Today is meal planning. I make a list of Dinner and Breakfast meals I want to make. I've got 15 dinner meals and 8 breakfast. Then from there I'll take each recipe and create a shopping list, adjusting recipes to buy in bulk. Buying in bulk is the best way to be able to purchase enough food at once.
