I am intrigued by the idea of doing once-a-month cooking. The basic idea is that you do one big cooking day on a weekend and make enough food (or at least starters like ground beef for chili, tacos, etc.) for a month. You freeze the food and thaw/cook as needed.
It seems like it would be a huge time-saver not do a lot cooking in each evening and also good for your budget. Eat out less because there is food ready to go at home and also you can buy meat in bulk and use it up in the recipes.
We have a chest freezer and are members of Costco so I think I have the necessary "tools."
Has anyone does this? What were your experiences? Was the day of slaving away in the kitchen worth it? Any specific books you'd recommend...I see there are a lot out there on the topic.
