Can you
really make a month's worth of meals in a single day?
When people first
hear about making an entire month's worth of meals in a single
day, people usually don't believe it is possible. But with
dedication and some prep work, it can be done.
There are many
families who will spend an entire day making a months worth
of meals. It requires planning, such as selecting recipes,
listing all the ingredients needed then shopping for them
and doing any prep work such as chopping or peeling. Then
on the day, it will consist of a systematic routine to prepare
all the meals, most of which are made in multiples of at least
two or three to make up the monthly quota. finally, packaging
and labeling, then popping it into the freezer to be served
as the meal later in the month.
Of course, it does
take dedication to do this. It is a lot of work, but then
it makes a lot less work over the rest of the month, which
is why so many people do it. And you can easily plan these
meals around what happens to be on sale at the time, which
enables you to budget better, particularly when the bulk of
your food budget is purchased at once.
so many people
swear by this system, and would never ever go back to cooking
a meal for the family every night. It is much easier to simply
defrost and reheat that it is to go through the entire preparation,
cooking and serving of a new meal every single night.
