This breakthrough cookbook delivers a program for readers to cook a week or month's worth of meals in just one day by using easy and affordable recipes to create a customized meal plan. Deborah Taylor-Hough, who saved $24,000 on her family's total grocery bill during a five-year period, offers up kid-tested and family-approved recipes in Frozen Assets, plus bulk-cooking tips for singles, shopping lists, recipes for two-week and 30-day meal plans, and a ten-day plan to eliminate cooking over the holidays. Cooking for the freezer allows you to plan ahead, purchase items in bulk, cut down on waste, and stop those all-too-frequent trips to the drive-thru. The hands-down authority on once-a-month cooking, Frozen Assets gives you a step-by-step plan to simplify and revolutionize the way you cook. 'Finally, a realistic way to combine the cost-effectiveness of cooking from scratch with the convenience of quick and easy meals!' -Mary Hunt, author of The Financially Confident Woman 'Belongs in every family's kitchen! One of the best time - and money - savers a busy family can have.' -The Dollar Stretcher 'Offers relief to those tired of eating restaurant fare or expensive, over-packaged convenience foods at the end of a hard day.' -Library Journal Frozen Assets is small in stature, but jam-packed with meal-planning advice. It contains recipe ideas, plus detailed instructions on how to get the maximum value from your food dollar, while also slashing meal preparation times. Deborah Taylor-Hough, mother of four, is as organized as a soldier. She shops one morning in less than an hour, chops and prepares ingredients the next night after dinner, and then spends one long day cooking. Making double and triple batches of 10 recipes, she ends up putting 30 meals for two adults and two children into the freezer, ready to heat and eat. Taylor-Hough's plan uses simple, familiar recipes. Her family eats meat loaf, baked ziti, and chicken and broccoli casserole made with canned soup. Each dish is repeated several times a month. To keep her grocery bill under $200 a month, she uses store brands and buys ground meat in bulk, and only when it's on special. As much a manual for a way of life as a cookbook, Frozen Assets tells how to create your own meal plans, cope with a small, 'in refrigerator' freezer, and how to use this bulk-cooking method even if you are single. If you are into efficiency and want a guide to reorganizing your culinary life, this book is a must-have. It even offers advice on how to recover from a whole day of cooking. Taylor-Hough's recommendation: go out to dinner that night! --Dana Jacobi This book offers relief to those tired of eating restaurant fare or expensive, overpackaged convenience foods at the end of a hard day. Bulk cooking, the practice of preparing numerous meals and freezing for later consumption, was a survival strategy the author employed after the birth of her first child. After a decade of experimentation, she shares her menu ideas, recipes, and tips for shopping and preparing these thrifty, frozen treasures that can simplify the daily meal rush. Recipes are for family favorites, but the author encourages readers to adapt their own recipes to the freezer method. Suggestions appropriate for large families and singles are included along with forms to help organize the cook. With more emphasis on frugality than Mimi Wilson and Mary Bath Lagerborg's Once-a-Month Cooking (Focus on the Family Pub., 1992), this will appeal to both the thrifty and the time-conscious.

This book got me thinking on how to organize my shopping and meal planning to accommodate cooking less frequently. Like other reviewers, I didn't care for repeating the recipes, or using "all purpose meat mix" while using plain ground beef in others. However, I used many of these recipes as guidelines and adapted them to my family's preferences (a lot of beef alternatives and using lots of spices) and they come out great. I don't follow the suggestion ... Read More Rating - Worth reading This was an inspiring book for beginning OAMC. It has a lot of tips and tricks from people that have tried this method and cook in this way. I bought the book for the stuffed potato shells recipe, which I modified for my own taste. Which is easy to do with these recipes, if there is something that you don't love, you can easily modify the recipes, but her recipes prove how the rules of freezer cooking works, with good examples. She demonstrates how ... Read More Rating - A bit plain, repetitive and lacking in efficiency. Some people may like having a the same meat mix for their sauce, meatballs, meatloaf, etc; however I find it to be a bit plain. The same dishes are repeated over and over in different meal plans and many meals are cooked to prepare it, and then cooked for another hour the day it is served. I prefer Don't Panic-Dinner's in the Freezer for it's variety, easy to prepare meals and efficiency. Rating - Surprisingly good I was dubious when I first looked at Deborah Taylor-Hough's "Frozen Assets: How to Ccook for a Day and Eat for a Month." I have a great love of good food (and cooking), and the idea of eating frozen dinners hardly appealed to me. Instead, what I discovered was a new philosophy of shopping, cooking, and eating that slimmed our grocery bills, turned out to be surprisingly adaptable, and still managed to satisfy our taste buds!
