Once a Month Cooking – Part 1 Preparation

As homeschool moms we don’t have a lot of extra time on our hands.  If we can find something to make our job easier I am all for it!  I was searching online the other night looking for crock pot recipes and came across an article about Once a Month Cooking.  I had tried it before and it worked out alright but I only prepared dinners.  While I was reading I found several recipes for breakfast and lunch items.  I started thinking about how much easier it would make my life.  So I started on my journey of Once a Month Cooking.

This journey takes about 2-3 days to complete.  Since this was my first time planning all three meals for 30 days it took me 3 days to finish.  The first day is all about planning and shopping and the second and possibly the third day is pure cooking.  I want to share my journey with you so you can learn from my mistakes and successes.  I hope this will help you save time and money.

Why Homeschool? - How can it help my family?

Let’s start at the beginning and talk about why you should homeschool.  I have talked to numerous families and we can all have a different reason but I am going to discuss some of the most popular. 

Maybe you have a gifted child or a child that needs some extra help.  Homeschool is ideal for this because you can customize your child’s education to fit their needs.  You are able to adjust the difficulty level of your lessons based on your child’s needs.  So if you have a student that is gifted in math you can raise the level of math that you give him.  If you have a child struggling in spelling you can find alternative ways to help them learn their words.
