What is Party in My Kitchen?
Quite simply, it’s a party based on the concept of Once a Month Cooking. A hostess
will invite 4-8 ladies into her home for a few hours and the group will work
together to assemble 20 meals each to be taken home to their freezer for future
use.
Why should you have a party?
To quote my friend Alyssa, “Because you can’t afford not to!” There are many benefits to having a Party In My Kitchen Party. Here are just a few.
Having home cooked meals for your family.
Life is busy; many parents work full time or just have crazy lives like mine and don’t have much time for daily meal preparation. Thus many are resorting to prepackaged meals or dining out. These options not only cost more, but are not always healthy alternatives to home cooked meals. By preparing your own freezer meals you will have home cooked meals for your family with very little time involvement on a daily basis.

Daily time savings in the kitchen preparing dinners. By preparing your meals ahead of time and freezing them you will save yourself lots of daily preparation time. A typical party will last about 3 hours and you will go home with 20 meals for your freezer. Then you will have as little as 15 minutes of daily prep time compared to the hour or so it would take to prepare
that meal from scratch.

Monthly savings on the cost of food. Once a month cooking alone can save you lots of money especially if you frequently eat out otherwise. When you combine the OAMC concept with a group of friends doing it together, you save even more money because more of the ingredients can be purchased in bulk quantities.
Socializing with friends while preparing your meals. Having a party gives you the chance to
have a few hours with your friends. While assembling your meals you can visit and catch up on the stories and events of life. What mom doesn’t need a little time with her friends?

these meals as well as all mixing bowls, pans, and utensils necessary for the
preparation of all the meals. In addition I bring with me the experience of over 9 years of doing Once a Month Cooking for my own family, the experience of
forming my own Group OAMC club, and all of the recipes, meal plans, shopping
lists etc. that I have put together over the last couple of years.
What does it cost?
The cost for each participant is $210. Each will take home 20 main dish meals which breaks down to just $10.50 each. Each meal will feed an average of 6 people, and that breaks down to just $1.75 per person, per meal. You can’t beat
