But it doesn't mean it's not a nightmare to prep for food. During mealtime, I have to think about what we're suppose to eat next. I've found it very useful to schedule meals weekly. I know it sounds a little OCD. But this way, I could minimize trips to the grocery and usually, what we eat for lunch is what we also eat for dinner (if there are left-overs) It's also a challenge because some people I have to feed doesn't like to eat veggies and fish. So, I try and sneak in a little bit of healthy food, he doesn't like it :( I don't think I like the Once a Month cooking either, most food cannot last that long, and I don't want them to last that long even if I froze them. But I do do make ahead meals especially if I'm making spring rolls, cordon bleus, etc. I love cooking! But it doesn’t mean it’s not a nightmare to prep for food.

Whether someone does the Once a Month cooking plan, or just doubles-up on meals for freezing later (as you've done), or enrolls in our Simple Meal Plan, planning ahead is what helps you save time, money, and aggravation. After all, when we don't plan ahead, what happens? We wind up picking up fast food, or "convenience" food, or throwing something less-than-healthy together for dinner (or skipping dinner altogether!). This is a great website, full of some really useful articles. If you are ever looking for guest writers, or if you're interested in guest writing on other websites, let me know - I think we could provide a lot of useful content to our readers!
