GLUTEN FREE/DAIRY FREE July 2011 OAMM Menu (OAMC, Freezer Cooking, Bulk Cooking, Power Cooking)

With summer in full swing, I wanted to create a menu with easy to serve meals to cut down on your time (and heat!) in the kitchen.  During July we see a lot of different grill meats on sale and berries of all kinds, so stock up while you can.  Blueberries, melons, garlic, green beans, grapes, limes and nectarines are all in peak season with tomatoes and summer squash starting to to arrive at your local farmer’s market.  This menu takes advantage of the great summer produce and sale items that are in your stores and markets during the month of July.

I hope you enjoy these meals as much as our early readers/cooks have. If you are new and not sure how to get started, read here. And there are several other helpful links under the Helpful Hints/Resources section below to help you on your cooking journey. Good luck!

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! Here is a little bit about this month’s test cooks:

• Christie – I am a stay at mother of 4, 3 boys (11, 9, 4) and one girl (7). I have been married for 12 years and have been in a rut as far as cooking is concerned.  I homeschool my children and spend more time in the kitchen for meal prep than I would like.  Looking forward to OAMM menus freeing up some time in order to be able to meet the demands that come with being a mom of 4. I look forward to trying these new recipes and expanding the palate of some of the picky ones in our home.
