oamc

That is, Once-A-Month Cooking. The concept of once-a-month cooking (OAMC) is to spend a set time cooking, be it a day or two, but with an end result of having enough meals to last through the whole month. OAMC recipes usually involve freezing the meals until needed. This has increased in popularity over the past few years in response to the global recession. Several websites now provide OAMC tips and tricks.


Back in October, 3 moms and myself joined forces to do this. It was a success! We all contributed supplies and foods, prepped everything so we could just get together one morning and assemble it all. Since most recipes make a 9x13, I split each recipe into 2 8x8, which is better for our smaller family. We made these 4 recipes and I brought home a total of 10 meals! I still have a few in my freezer! Thanks gals! It was a deliciously successful venture!
