If you liked the February 2012 Traditional menu – but didn’t want to cook that many recipes, then take a look at the 10 day mini menus!
What are Mini Menus? Mini menus are a fraction of the meals you would see on a normal menu and can be completed quickly and efficiently in a few short hours, in the evenings when you are preparing the meal for dinner or during small bursts of times like naps. Mini meal plans are designed for the busy family who wants freezer meals in their freezer but doesn’t have time to do a full months worth of meals. If you are new and not sure how to get started we have a wonderful series starting with 5 easy steps to get you on your way to once a month cooking. Good luck!
**Don’t forget to check out the 5 Day Mini Menu that debuted on the 5th of February, you might enjoy that one as well.
Dinners
**Indicates meals that require NO COOKING on your OAMC BIG DAY aka “throw and go” meals, perfect for the family who needs to adjust to just do the quick meals!

Test Cooks
Each month we have some wonderful volunteers who “test” out the menu prior to publication. They do an amazing job of helping to eliminate confusion and mistakes. They may not catch everything but they sure do catch A LOT! If you are interested in test cook, feel free to volunteer. Here is a little bit about this month’s test cooks:
- Emma Bardon -
Emma is an engineer, mom to a very active 3 1/2 year old, and is 9 months pregnant with her second child. Her chest freezer is one of the best investments she ever made.

These 10 day menu’s are wonderful but I am wondering how long the food can actually be frozen for?? My husband is deployed and with 2 very young children I’m sure each recipe will give me at least 3, if not 4, dinners. I don’t want to eat the same 5 meals for an entire month – so can I freeze for longer periods of time?
Here is a great post for your reference – http://onceamonthmom.com/get-started-how-long-do-meals-last/
I just did this menu, it was my first time doing any of your menus. So easy and everything looks great. Thanks so much
Does this really need 70 ounces of diced green chili’s?
(I scaled for 6 servings.)
Hi Sarah, I just checked the cards and yes it does require that many. For 6 servings you will need 54 ounces diced chiles, then another 16 ounces pureed.
