A Deeper Look Into a Once a Month Cooking Session

It is always helpful to get an idea what a cooking session is like, before you jump head first into trying a once-a-month cooking session.

After I have gathered everything, and prepared the early stages (such as hamburger meat, chicken breasts, ham, etc.) it is time to get it ready for each recipe. … Continue reading →

A Glimpse at a Once a Month Cooking Session

I thought it might be helpful to some of you, if I showed you what a day of once-a- month cooking looks like. It really differs for everyone, and it is not even always the same for me.

Freezer Cooking Through the Winter

Freezer cooking is my favorite method of saving money in the kitchen. During the long cold winter months, when I would rather be curled up on the couch with a blanket surrounded by my kids, cooking long drawn out meals can be a pain. Not to mention, I am cooking heartier meals during the winter months which often require a bit more time and preparation. So how do I combat the strong urge to simply hibernate all winter, and instead make sure my freezer is stocked? Here are a few pointers. I don’t have as much time during the winter … Continue reading →
