For those of you unfamiliar with the "Once-A-Month" books by Mary Beth Lagerborg and Mimi Wilson, let me explain. You shop for the entire month all at once (shopping lists are provided). You do all of the prep work the next day, freezing or refrigerating those items that need to be kept cold. Then, at dinner time, you have only some quick finishing preparations and dinner is ready. The books give detailed step-by-step instructions.
"Once-A-Month Cooking Family Favorites" is the latest in the "Once-A-Month" series and I think it is the best. Of course, the success of the meal plans is highly dependent on whether your family likes the recipes included and the recipes included in this book are winners!
The recipes in this book go beyond the basic and very traditional family meals. Some of the tasty meals included are Adobe Chicken, Chicken Wild Rice Soup, Lime-Grilled Mahi Mahi, Gnocchi with Turkey Ragu, and Texas-Style Lasagna.
The book includes plans for two one-month cycles, two two-week cycles, and three specialty cycles (gourmet, summer, and gluten-free). In this book, there is something for everyone.
With shopping lists, great recipes, and cooking plans, Once-A-Month Cooking Family Favorites
has everything you need to get great dinners on the table.To read about more wonderful things, visit Things I Love Thursday.
