What is Once-A-Month Cooking?
Once A Month Cooking (OAMC) is a growing trend. It is an organized cooking plan, designed to give you a month's worth of meals in your freezer with about two days of hard -- but rewarding -- work.
You plan your menus, make detailed shopping list, shop, cook and freeze your creations. The freedom this method of cooking offers can't be beat. The people who have tried it are sold on the method. It is great especially for moms-to-be and new moms, since it offers her the chance to relax or go take that long-awaited shower while dinner cooks. It's also great for the partners who don't know how to cook.
