Thanks for the link. I'll look at it, not likely to do once a month cooking but I do love new ideas and ways to make dinner prep easier.
For Thursdays I try very hard to do all the pre-work for dinner on Wednesdays. Like this week, while we got the Stir Fried Sweet Pork & grains done, I tossed everything for Thursdays in to the crock pot so all we had to do in the morning was take it out of the fridge and put it in the cooker. (note some people say you shouldn't store the food in the cooking base in the fridge, but another bowl and dump it in...) So when we got home Thursday I stirred the pot added a few spices and we had Chicken Vegetable on the table in 5 minutes. Tiger boy wanted noodles so he cooked some noodles but everyone was at the table and free to start eating.
