Once a Month Cooking Cookbook

September29

I am recovering from one of my worst flare-ups yet, and have been thinking again about OAMC. Have you ever tried Once a Month Cooking? A friend of mine in Florida introduced me to it years ago, and it has turned out to be a life saver for my family.

When I have my fibromyalgia flare-ups, it is hard for me to make dinner. So when I am having good days, I try to get a bunch of meals frozen so that when I can’t get out of bed, one of my boys (or hubby if he’s home) can pop a meal in the oven and tada - dinner is done!

A couple of years ago I started Once a Month Cooking World to teach others how to do OAMC, and now I am in the finishing stages of my cookbook!! Moms on my Frugal Mom message boards have been testing the recipes for me for oh…about a year now, and I’m getting close. So close I can almost taste it. ha! Taste it…get it?

Here is the cover I think I’ve settled on.

This next one is the runner-up, but when I polled the Frugal Moms the consensus was that the mac & cheese wasn’t a good dish for the cover, and the colors were too blah.

Tell me what you think…do you agree with the choice?

    Sorry to hear about your flare up! I do like the idea of once-a-month-cooking….that sounds great.

    Thanks for stopping by and checking out “My One Month”…I really hope you write a post and participate!

    :O) I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder! I like the second one better. It has a simpler layout, and would be more likely to catch my eye if I were browsing cookbooks. Though, on second thought, in design class they always told us to avoid the color blue if the subject matter pertained to food. So maybe the simplistic type and layout of the second but with the pic and colors from the first. How’s that for confusing?
