I love your menu and set up! I have tried other OAM sites but they never seemed to go with my family’s food preferences. Yours seems right on. I have one question though. I am new to the site and am not seeing where to find the actual recipes? I have the grocery list and the instructions and am excited to get started but I don’t see where to get the actual recipes. Thanks!
You should go to the menu that you are wanting to make and click on the “printable X menu” (x=month). If you do a search on the sight for “navigating” this will also bring up a post that will help you navigate the menu. Good luck!
I am so excited to give this a go! My mom and I will be attempting our first “Big Baking Day” tomorrow and this really is coming at a perfect time for us. She is scheduled to have major surgery on Friday and will NOT be able to cook for a while! Meanwhile, my husband, two young children and I will be moving to a new house in our area within the next month and this will free me up BIG TIME to pack, prepare, etc.
Thanks so much for all of the hard work you put into preparing these menus, instructions, grocery lists–this site is AMAZING!
God Bless,
Jenn
