I have "fond" memories of stopping at Kroger on our way home from school about every day of the week when I was younger. My dad was/is a believer in the "cooking what sounds good tonight" concept, making it rather hard for my mom to plan menus or make large trips to the grocery store. So we made our daily trips to Kroger and bought the needed ingredients for the evening meal.
But I tried something new this weekend in an effort to save both time and money at the grocery store. I tried the "once a month cooking" concept. I'd always been curious. I took a huge trip to the store on Friday night (quite different from our express lane trips I remember as a kid) and cooked most of the day on Saturday.
By Saturday evening, I could barely stand, I had the beginnings of a migraine, and I was tired of looking at food.
This afternoon I felt differently. I loved serving my family a nice meal that required no effort from me today.
I think I'm going to like it.
One miserable day leads to 29 good days. I can handle that.

Definitely the way to cook!!! This is what I often do....when I'm able to be in the kitchen. As soon as this morning sickness passes, I'll be right back there with you. Heather & I should share some of our freezer recipes with you.
Let us know how you like this cookbook. I'd love to have any freezer recipes that you guys love.
I have enough freezer recipes to open a store...oh wait, we did have a store! But ironically, I don't cook this way. Guess I'm burnt out on it still, eventually I'll get back to the idea...it definitly prevents us from eating out and ordering out as much.
