Once A Month Cooking – Holiday Style
My sweet friend, Tricia, is a phenomenal “foodie”. She specializes in Once a Month Cooking or Freezer Cooking, by planning ahead so she can have easy to prepare meals on hand all month long. It’s a superb idea – and one of these days I’m going to take the plunge and do an entire month’s of cooking in a day (or two).
With the holidays approaching, making holiday helpings ahead of time makes practical sense. This way you can focus your attention on the more intense holiday foods, cleaning, shopping, etc. When Tricia announced that she was going to do a Once A Month Cooking Holiday Ebook, I couldn’t wait to help her promote it!
I love how she’s incorporated the classics and few new tastes as well.
Here’s a sampling of some of the recipes contained in the Holiday ECookbook*:
- Veggie Pizza
- Pumpkin Cheeseball
- Scalloped Corn
- Freezer Mashed Potatoes
- Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes
- Slow Cooker Stuffing
- Make Ahead Butterhorn Rolls
- Turkey Baste
- Cranberry Mustard Ham Glaze
- Pumpkin Pie
- Caramel Apple Pie Trifle
Oh. My. Yum! On top of the recipes the ECookbook contains grocery lists, instructions, recipe cards, photographs, step by step visuals, and labels. It’s also customizable for a serving size of 8 or 16.
Tricia is offering the readers of 4tunate a special discounted price of $5.99 through November 1st. Use the code: OAMM40 at checkout. (It will normally sell for $9.99.) And she’s also generously allowing me to give one away!

My favorite holiday dish is my husband’s turkey (and all the fixings that go with it make it all the better!!!)
I’m already a follower of 4tunate on facebook!
My favorite food is MASHED POTATOES! My mouth is watering as I type the words! YUM!
I am a follower on facebook!
Turkey and dressing!
My fave holiday food is broccoli/rice casserole. I know you can make it any time of year, but I guess it is always the dish I contribute at gatherings.
I’m a 4tunate Like(r) on FB.
It would have to be home-made cheesecake with a delicious chocolate sprinkling on top!
I pretty much love pumpkin pie!! And I would love to win this book … I have started doing my own freezer cooking, one recipe at a time (much more doable for me than setting aside a whole day … I can fix a few batches of one recipe during nap or after the kids go to bed). 🙂
Keep up with me, Ted, and our Fab Four at four-by-two.blogspot.com
I am going to look into this. It sounds great!
My favorite dish is ham. I always want ham and no one else does.
I love Tricia’s website, I have been reading it for quite some time. Her ebook looks wonderful!
Oh and my favourite holiday dish is Apple Crisp!!
My favorite dish is cornbread dressing (I wasn’t introduced to this until a couple of years ago).
My favorite dish is a hash brown casserole. It’s almost at the top of the list for required food during the holiday season. With my work schedule getting into full swing beginning the Monday after Thanksgiving I could use tips and pointers for cooking in advance. I usually end up staying up the whole night before trying to cook everything at once and then I’m too tired to enjoy the holiday itself.
My favorite has to be cold pumpkin pie with whipped topping of course!!
My favorite is definitely my mom’s amazing cheese ball that we snack on all morning while we cook everything else 🙂
I can’t say I have just 1 favorite dish – I love the whole Thanksgiving meal. Stuffing, green bean casserole and sweet potatoes would have to be at the top of the list – if I had to narrow it down.
My favorite holiday dish is the smoked sausage our family makes every New Years’ Day!

My grandmother’s turkey stuffing is the fav at our holiday table.

my fav is mashed potatoes!! I need to find a recipie to freezer cook them so that is 1 less thing that has to be done the date of all of the family coming to my house 🙂
I love stuffing! And believe it or not, I prefer StoveTop over homemade LOL 🙂
I became a fan of 4tunate and Once a month cooking on facebook. So excited to check them both out. As for my favorite holiday food, I have to say, left over turkey that’s cold on bread with mayo. LOVE IT!!
Hmmm… my favorite holiday dish… there are too many too name, but I’ll go with Christmas cookies (the traditional cut-outs with frosting and sprinkles)! Cookies probably aren’t a “dish”, but I wouldn’t mind making a meal of them!
Also, I would love to be so organized to be able to do OAMC! I have a friend who does it and I know it has got to make life simpler. One of these days…

It’s a toss-up between fried turkey and green bean casserole made with homegrown green beans.
I am a follwer of OAMM and 4tunate on FB!
Already a fan on Facebook! I would love to have a cookbook – some girlfriends and I have talked about getting together to cook up meals for a few months.
Favorite holiday dish would definitely be the desserts – pumkin pie (with Cool Whip!), Christmas cookies including my grandmother’s molasses cookies and Mexican wedding cake cookies.
I don’t do true OAMC but I do try to double or triple the batch and put 1 or 2 into the freezer everytime I make a dinner that freezes well. Such a help to have easy meals to pull out of the freezer on crazy days. Works for me.
LOVE OAMC…and would LOVE this ebook. my favorite is the ham we always have at Christmas…i know, boring, but tasty! 🙂
i already like 4tunate on FB
i like OAMM on FB
This would be great, Jen! I have been thinking about trying this out! I can’t wait for the holidays – I am a HUGE Christmas cookie maker – iced sugar, peppermint candy canes, “Hershey Kiss” cookies – you name it! Love it! I will “fan” the other two sites, if I haven’t already!
From October through December, I love to indulge in cranberry orange muffins.
I’m already a fan of yours on FB and now I’m a fan of OAMM, too!
how can i begin to pick just one fav holiday food, sis? i love it all from the cheeseball, vegie pizza, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin pie, pumpkin choc chip cookies, cherry delight, your mashed potatoes, etc., etc. I love it all! Need to say more? Love you girl and excited to share the holidays with you and all the fam!!
Hi, my favorite holiday dish is Cranberry Salad. Ours is packed with nuts–walnuts or pecans, celery, and is a vivid red with a bite from the cranberries. We serve it with a zesty lemon dressing. It is a little healthier than some of the other traditional dishes. 🙂
I became a Fan of Once a Month Mom. Bonus!
I also became a Fan of 4tunate. 🙂
My favorite dish is sweet potato casserole so I can’t wait to make that. Plus the pumpkin cheeseball sounds yummy too!

Just became a fan of 4tunate!! 🙂
My favorite holiday dish is anything with Pumpkin in it.
I am already a have of 4tunate on facebook.
I love to cook for the holidays! I love making the turkey, potatoes, rolls, but what I like best is baking cookies, cookies, and more cookies. I just try not to eat any!
My favorite holiday dish is sweet potato casserole, made light and fluffy with egg whites then topped with a butter, sugar, pecan, and flour topping. Yummy!
