Once A Month Cooking

May 5th, 2011
Written by: Tanna Clark

While I am not the cook of the family I do enjoy getting in the kitchen on the weekends with my husband to help prepare food for the week ahead. Sometimes that will include a meal or two if we know we will be busy and need to quickly throw something in the oven one night. It definitely makes things easier on us during the week.

I am interested in stepping up this idea and cooking for a month ahead of time. Or, at the very least have two meals a week prepared ahead of time. We have an additional freezer in the garage so space is not a problem. This would work great for soups and casseroles. Frugal Mom, has a great post outlining the process for once a month cooking. And of course, you should top off the meal with a Date Mates label for easy identification!

Do you prepare and freeze meals for future?

Mabel’s Labels Date Mates are featured in the May edition of In Style Magazine. Our snazzy new labels are featured as a “smart extra” for inside your fridge. Pick up a copy of In Style the next time you’re at the grocery store check-out; it’s the issue with Scarlett Johansson on the cover (Mabel keeps such stylish company!).
