Patricia/Once a Month Cooking
Posted by: dabanks <dabanks@...>
I used to love to do once a month cooking. I always chose a day when my
kids could help me out. They loved it during the month too because it was so
easy for them to just heat up dinner for all of us then. Made it easier on
everyone. I haven't done it now in about a year because we are living in
our camper waiting for our house to get built. We used to make a lot of
dishes like stir fry, where we chopped up the veggies and bagged them up
separately from the meat we would use, we made Salisbury steak, hot beef
sandwich fixings (of course store the buns separately), lots and lots of
soups and stews, chicken and dumplings, baked beans, hot dishes, pizzas,
lasagnas, taco/burrito meats, sloppy joes, etc, etc,. It was so much fun on
cooking day all though it would take us all day. We tried to choose a day
it was forecasted to rain and be a little colder. We utilized the crock pot,
the oven, the stove burners, the barbeque grill..anything that we could cook
on that day. One of us would be in charge of all the chopping, one would be
in charge of grill foods, etc,. We would switch off frequently because the
poor soul who got stuck with the chopping job would get sore hands quickly.
I never did buy the Once a Month Cooking book, but there are websites with
ideas. I don't know where they are right now but I can sure look them up for
you. I just kind of made it up myself as I went a long and it went really
well.
How exciting! Adopting a little girl. That is wonderful. I know the Lord is
blessing you greatly with this little child. Take care, Julie 🙂
