Getting your groceries for pennies on the dollar is great, but you need to be able to use those groceries to make healthy dinners for your family.
Once a Month Cooking helps in that you cook a number of recipes in bulk, all in one day, store them in the freezer and then pop one in each night for dinner. Right now, Once-A-Month Cooking is giving away a free downloadable copy of the Once-A-Month Cooking Holiday Menu Sampler. (Thanks Northern Cheapskate!)
This menu sampler has all the information you need to prepare a week’s worth of tasty meals in advance. Recipes include French Stew, Sledders Soup, Tortilla Lime Chicken, Apple-Sausage Brunch Bake and more. Even if the individual recipes aren’t for you, I bet you’ll learn some things about how to freeze foods, what freezes well and what doesn’t, plus you’ll have a jolt of confidence to make a double portion of your favorite recipe and freeze half for later.
Request a second meal planning resource by mail from Mueller Pasta. Register on Mueller’s website and they will send you a free, 12-month, weekly meal planner. It will be full of recipe ideas and I hope it has ready-to-go shopping lists.
Find a store near you that sells Mueller Pasta. Looks like Dollar General carries their products; they accept coupons too, so bring these Mueller Pasta printable coupons along with you.
Your turn: How do you do your meal planning?

What a coincidence! I reserved the Once a Month Cooking Family Favorites from the Hennepin County Library last week and just received my email notice that it’s ready to be picked up at my local library.
