July is one of those love/hate months for our family. We love all the activities that are crammed into the month from Independence Day to a multitude of birthdays. But the hate comes from the stomping of the feet from mom and kids alike when we realize that our summer is on the down hill slide. WHERE DID IT GO? Don’t spend your whole month in the kitchen either, with this quick and easy mini menu, you can prepare delicious meals for your family in just a few hours. So go ahead, get out your summer fun bucket list, and start doing those things you want to do, savoring each moment.
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!
**Stay tuned on the 10th of July as we have another 10 Day Mini Menu coming out then that you might also enjoy.

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:
- Jenelle Stiras- I’m a wife and stay at home mom of two small children. I have been cooking with three other friends once a month for almost 3 years! I enjoying cooking with others not only for the company, but to save time and money as well!
- Jenny Iwaniec - Single mom of four awesome kids, 9 year old twin girls and two boys (7 and 4). I live in Chicagoland and spend my days as a Taxi driver, referee, cheerleader, test-knitter, pattern editor, maid, dishwasher, internet surfer, softball coach and laundromat.

So… I’m new at this and I can’t figure out when I open the Printable Menu and Recipe Cards, how do I change the number of servings from 1 to 8, or whatever I need it to be?
Jennifer – This link should help answer your questions. http://onceamonthmom.com/all-menus-saving-printing-google-document-grocery-lists-recipe-cards-instructions/
I’ve downloaded the recipe cards to EXCEL and have changed the serving amount to fit my needs. When I print the cards, some of the directions don’t print. Only what’s showing in the box prints. How do I fix this?
You click on the box and choose “normal” or “text” as the cell type. Hope that helps.
Thanks, Tricia. I just printed it as a Google doc.
