Are you a person that likes to see the menus visually? Perhaps you should check out the September 2012 Diet 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. Here is a little bit about this month’s test cooks:
- Kari Romine – I am a stay at home mom and wife of a 3 year old, 2 year old and a 5 month old. Since I recently had a baby using the Diet Menu allows me to take the unwanted baby weight off while also giving my family healthy home cooked meals. I love to cook but I’m always looking for a way to increase family time and using OAMM helps me do that.

Cecelia Braun – A mom who struggled for 3 years to get pregnant with her first child, found out quickly after his birth that you CAN get pregnant by having sex, gave birth to twins, and had one die completely unexpectedly in her sleep at 5 days old. Blogging about life with 2 small children, handling loss, and a crazy extended family to boot. Also a rather crafty gal – who loves to knit and quilt… and is trying to cover every square inch of her children with knitted items before they get old enough to protest.

The link to the “no sugar oat drops” goes to the french toast recipe.
Thanks Jackie, it was a wrong link. Should be correct now.
I cannot figure out how to change my serving sizes
Peggy – Please see this post. It should help explain working with the recipe cards and grocery list changes: http://onceamonthmom.com/all-menus-saving-printing-google-document-grocery-lists-recipe-cards-instructions/
The baked fajitas doesn’t seem to calculate correctly for making 2 meals. I put in to the spreadsheet to serve 3, it recalculated, but it recalculates for 1 meal only.
The number of tortillas was not calculating correctly for the servings. All other ingredient amounts were correct but only giving you 1 tortilla per serving instead of 2. The card has been updated.
