Split pea soup with smoked turkey (OAMC)

Easy-peasy (sorry!) recipe for split pea soup that you can set up in a crock pot before you leave the house and have table-ready in an instant when you return! All you need to add is crusty bread or rolls. This is also an excellent OAMC recipe, freezing very well, and heating up again […]

Chicken panzanella

If you can remember to do it, cut 4 slices of pumpernickel bread into cubes, and leave them out overnight to go stale! If you forget, then just toast the bread and cut it into cubes. This is a very simple dish, but a really nice mix of flavors. Use fresh herbs […]

La Sita chicken - a perfect OAMC dish

La Sita Chicken is a great example of a recipe that is made for Once a Month Cooking. It takes some pre-cooking before it’s ready to assemble, and the actual cooking time is low and slow. But it makes enough for a family of 4 to eat twice, varying the accompaniments! It’s worth the time, […]

Meat and mashed potato pie for Passover

This is too tasty to save just for Passover! Even though it takes some time to make, since you’ve got to prepare mashed potatoes beforehand, and then it needs to cook for about 45 minutes, the really good thing is that is keeps really well in the freezer. Yup! a make-ahead OAMC recipe for Passover […]

Passover roast chicken with stuffing

This roast chicken recipe is great for anytime of the year, but it’s specifically designed for Passover because it uses matzo farfel for the stuffing. It can be assembled earlier in the day and then popped into the oven for an hour before serving.

Greek-style chicken

This dish can easily be a thirty minute meal if you’ve done the once a week food prep. If not, start by boiling up the chicken and cutting it up. Save the stock water for another time.  This can also be packaged up for OAMC, as the rice will still be slightly firm.  When you […]
