Once A Month Cooking with a Friend

So this is my third round of Once A Month Cooking, or I guess I should say Once Every Couple of Months Cooking.  I did it in May, July, and now September.  Each experience has been different with things that worked and things to change for next time, but one this is for sure--I am sold!  It is so worth it to me to do a whole lot of work all at once, and then have weeks and weeks of reaping the benefit when 5pm rolls around.  This time I partnered with my friend, Tynisia.  We cooked for almost 10 hours and made a LOT of food.
So much prep went into our big cooking day...choosing meals, planning out the day, shopping , etc. We started bright and early at around 8am.  
Here is Tynisia at the "burrito station."

Our little troopers!  Once a Month Cooking while nursing-the good thing is it forced us to sit down every few hours! :)

Now our freezers are full and we're recovering!
