Are you a person that likes to see the menus visually? Perhaps you should check out the Baby Food (9-12 Month) December 2012 menu via Pinterest to see the yummy goodness you will be cooking up on this menu. Not sure what Pinterest is all about, check out what Once A Month Mom has to say about it.
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.
Get Started
Are you new to Once A Month Mom or once a month cooking (oamc) in general? If so, you might want to spend a few minutes (or hours) on the Get Started Series. If you are in a real hurry to catch on we have written some simple steps for getting started. Welcome!

I can’t wait to get started on this menu.
How is the consistency of the oatmeal once it has been defrosted? I ask because when I was grinding the oatmeal up, I always had to re-blend it once I had defrosted it and now that my little guy is eating it whole, I have to make it fresh, otherwise it soaks up all the juices from the fruit I put in it.
Thanks!
Marissa – when I thawed the oatmeal out, I did have to add a little water to thin the consistency a bit. I found that adding a little water and then warming it up helped with the consistency. So glad you enjoy the menus!
I love your menus, but my 9 month old won’t eat purees anymore, only finger foods. She’s not quite ready for some of the things on the 12-18 months, but your 9-12 month menus are very puree-heavy. Could you consider doing a 9-12 menu with more finger foods, or a mini menu maybe? Just a thought. Thanks for all you do! I LOVE this site and my new membership! :)
Thanks for the suggestion! So glad you are enjoying your membership!
Are you no longer doing the toddler menus?
We will no longer have a new baby/toddler menu each month. But watch out for kid friendly mini menus. We will also continue to tag regular recipes as “kid-friendly” when it applies. So you can proceed to our Recipes page (http://onceamonthmom.com/recipes/) and search by menu or meal type.
Excited for the kid-friendly mini menus! My guy is old enough to eat MOST of what we are eating but every once in a while it’s nice to have something in the freezer on back up for lunch or dinner when the rest of us are eating spicy or junky for the day.
How often are you going to add toddler menus from now on?
We’ll be offering them quarterly there are quite a few on the site already for you to peruse http://onceamonthmom.com/toddler-food-12-18-month-may-2012-menu/
