Once A Month Cooking II

Though the work was intense this is an idea I would recommend for anyone that wants to change up their menu and make dinner time easier each night.

Assembling the food isn't nearly as difficult as it is time consuming. (However, I DID manage to leave the eggs out of the cinnamon roll dough and had to go back and add it in AFTER I had already kneaded the dough! Yea, I'm pretty sure those are going to be a disaster!)If you follow this particular plan, it is completely organized into Person A and Person B directions. Melissa and I were able to successfully cook all the meals in her kitchen comfortably. (Thanks, Melissa!)

Even though this is a Once A Month meal plan, you only cook 15 meals. The explanation behind this is that most people still will eat out or attend functions which serve food several times a month. At first, I thought I might be disappointed that we didn't have exactly 30 meals. Especially when we were paying the bill for the groceries. Now that I have seen the food prepared, I've realized that for my family (my little ones aren't huge eaters), we DO in essence have 30 meals! Each meal that we prepared appears to be able to feed us at least twice. So far they have.

Now, I'm enjoying having to pick out what is for dinner each night. I really like that these are nicer meals then I would normally take the time to make made with fresh ingredients! I'm definitely planning to do this again. And, maybe, with a different menu just for fun!
