Love the fact she broke this book into mini sessions by meat type! by Christina L. Hebert
I borrowed several freezer, cook once a month books from the library including this one. What the other books did which was totally unhelpful to me, was they listed several month’s menus with shopping lists etc. What if you have a family member like I do that can’t eat sausage, or red meat. Then you have to take their menus and revised them all and create your own shopping lists anyway. Not with this book. Everything is broken up into meat type, such as chicken, turkey, etc with the associated shopping lists for each mini session. That is a time saver in itself. Yes the book does have errors. But I bought this one and as I catch one I edit it myself. People usually do this anyway with a cookbook, adjusting it to suit a families likes and dislikes.
The recipes that I have tried were tasty and easy plus low fat! You can go wrong as long as you are careful about reading the recipes and double checking the lists and prep work. For chicken mini session 4 you prep parsley by chopping 1/2 cup. Then one recipe called for 1/2 cup parsley and I put it all in. Well then two other recipes called for several tablespoons chopped parsley. I had already put away my food processer so I chopped by hand. I would have been much easier if I had done it before. But the book is worth it anyway.
Best Book on Cooking Ahead by S. Reichman
I have looked at about 6 books on cooking ahead, freezing meals etc. I tried a few recipes in them, but I found this one to be the most logical/compatible with my lifestyle and methods of cooking. I like that everything is arranged by the kind of meat. It makes more sense to me (cooking for 
to roast 2 turkeys and cut up all the meat and bag it than to buy several kinds of meat to prepare all in one day. I do a ground meat day, a chicken breast day, turkey day etc etc. I find, even if I don’t assemble whole meals having meat cooked, cut and frozen in portions saves so much time when I get ready to cook dinner. I will be trying some of these recipes soon-I am glad they are lower fat.
Simple!!!! by Running Girl
This is a great book to help simplify your life!!!!! or at least dinner. I have tried around half of the recipies and enjoy the vast majority of them. It makes a busy life a little easier.
Its a so so cookbook. by Tricia Myers
I would not reccomend this to be your sole source for oamc recipies. Its good to have on as an addition, but to basic for me. It is very difficult to cook with, it is not hard back or spiral. Its paperback. There are better oamc resources out there.
