Once a Month Cooking - Did they eat it?

I don't know about you, but at about 4:00 each day I become flustered because we have to eat, AGAIN! Dinner needs to be made EVERY NIGHT?! Who warned me about this? No one! Forget this. I'm done with this adulting crap. Maybe my dog will share his kibble? He seems to like it every. single. day.

So in desperation of not turning to dog food, I tried something new...Once a Month Cooking.

It's been one month since I did my first cooking day. I have been thawing and preparing in different ways all month...and the big question is, did we like the meals for Once A Month Cooking?

yes.

Yes!

YES!!

It was so great to have the nightly stress of 'What am I going to make for dinner?' gone! Plus, my entire family ate most things, which is a success in itself. (My pickiest eater balked at a couple meals, but that's expected)

All month I made dinner without eyeing the dog's meal and still had time to do other things as it was cooking. I made some yummy sides because I could! I sat and watched a movie or two...gasp..I know!  Well, it's more like, 'Stood and watched a movie while I ssslowwwly made my side dish'. Did you know that if you milk it right you can watch an entire Marvel movie while preparing a salad and rice?! I know! It's master level milking around here. You should try it.

One thing I learned...add breakfasts! They're awesome. My egg bowls were a hit. This month I'm going to add premade french toast to see how that goes. I expect mother-of-the-year awards. ;-)

For February, I've tried a new Once A Month Cooking plan that I'll write about soon. There were some differences from my first month that I'll explain, but regardless of the system there's one universal truth...IT'S AWESOME!!

Even if you start small and do only a week or two worth of meals, it's worth it, give it a try!
