This month's winner is Susan Baldwin, with the following email:

I have been freezer cooking for years since my boys were little. I do not know how working Mom's have daily sit down dinners without 30 Day Gourmet! This Christmas I talked my parents to come for a visit for 10 days. My son came home from college which means his girl friend came home from college and was at the house for most meals, so two more for meals. I usually cook meals for four; now I had to cook not only dinner but lunch and breakfast for 8! I took the time off from work but did not want to spend it in the kitchen and did not want my Mom to feel she needed to help me in the kitchen. My Father has had Alzheimers for three years and I wanted my Mom to relax and enjoy the holiday. Thanks to 30 Day Gourmet, I was able to play cards, go shopping, take naps, read and spend time with my family.

However, one thing I did not expect: my Father liked to empty the dishwasher and since I was freezer cooking, there were not as many dirty dishes so I told the boys to use more cups! I received the nicest compliment from my husband last night when he thanked me for the variety of cookies we had during Christmas, I must have made 15 different kinds. The baking and cooking really paid off! This was a holiday with no stress, even with my parents, thanks to 30 Day Gourmet all the meals were planned. I can't wait until next year when they come again!

So, how do you make 30 Day Gourmet work for you? How do you use it to help you deal with a challenge in your life? Do you have a funny story about your cooking day? How do you use it to help others?
