I am an on again, off again, once a month cooking fan. The theory... you cook like crazy for one weekend and then just have to pop a dish into the oven and make a salad or side. Love it! The con - at this point, freezer space (so doing this modified - not for the whole month, but for about 10 days). I used to have a cookbook that led me through the process, but recently I ran across this great website! They have put together everything you will need from recipes to shopping lists to labels to direction on cooking day for one or two people. It is an awesome site!
