Today my friend Maren and I made our first attempt at OAMC. We made 12 recipes for healthy meals (to go in the freezer) in 6 hours including: multiple clean-up times, meal labeling for storage, Ava feedings and snugglings, and a nice little lunch break. This cooking extravaganza resulted in only one major casualty, a new pair of white ankle socks. When I was trying to transfer homemade chicken taco soup into freezer bags, one overflowed all over the counter, floor, and my sparkling white socks. I will now wear the soup stained socks like a trophy and always remember this, my first OAMC, day.
In case you're curious what I've got chilling in the freezer now, here is the lowdown:
crock pot chicken cacciatore
two-cheese pasta and broccoli casserole
chicken enchilada casserole
lunch box taco chicken soup
hubby-will-inhale-them meatballs
mushroom sauce for meatballs
spaghetti/pasta sauce
to die for crock pot roast
quick and easy grilled pork chops
make-ahead twice-baked potatoes
fruity oat bars
*All these recipes are courtesy of recipezaar.com. They even have premade OAMC plans that are easy to follow.
So, overall this day was a huge success! Even though I'm tired, I'm actually looking forward to doing it all over again.

I actually have a book that is called once a month cooking but I have yet to get my act together to do it. Doing it with a friend is a great idea. How did the cost compare to something like Super Suppers?
