I am excited to welcome KOAB reader and organizing junkie Shaindy Gerstein for this two-part series about Kosher Once a Month Cooking (OAMC). As the name implies, OAMC means that you cook once and eat for a month, thanks to cook-ahead food that freezes well. As a full time working mom with two small kids, [...]

Our Sukkot Menu Plan (12 More YomTov Meals!)

PHOTO CREDIT: JDCC I’ve got a confession to make. (Hangs head in shame.) I haven’t had a menu plan this week. And you know what happens when I don’t menu plan. Fortunately this time, we didn’t blow our budget, but I will admit to making some extremely uninspired meals (tuna casserole was the highlight, just [...]

July Meal Plan: Sticking to Theme Days (Link Up to Your Menu Plans, Too)

Last month, I shared that I was trying something new (well, sort of retro, actually) with my menu planning: Theme Days. After sticking with it for a month, I can report that it worked out really, really well, so we’re doing it again in July. If you missed it, basically we assign a “theme” to [...]

June Monthly Meal Plan: Changing Things Up

I mentioned the other day that I’ve been a bit lax in the menu-planning and food shopping department. Truth be told, May was a mess. I never got around to planning our menu – and you all know what happens when you don’t menu plan! I have tons of excuses, but at the end of [...]
