Once a Month Cooking

I have a tendency to be lazy. This laziness leads me to eat out more often than I should for health and fiscal reasons.

To combat this, I started Once A Month Cooking.

For me, this involves cooking a lot of food, putting one serving size in a Zip Lock bag, and then freezing it. Normally I'll prepare a pound of spaghetti, brown rice, two different crock pot soups/stews/chili. I will buy frozen veggies and place a serving in a bag as well.

I have found these steps have significantly reduced the temptation to eat out. All I have to do is grab stuff out of the freezer and warm it up.

Additionally, I know how much each serving costs. I'll spend less than $2.00 on a homemade meal when eating out costs easily four times more.
