If you are just one person or would like to make less of a particular recipe, you will need to make the adjustments on your own to the recipe and to the grocery shopping list.

        Getting instructions for Last Month looking for instructions for Dole March Menu

        • tricia says:

          Okay, after looking yet again, I think I have FINALLY figured out what happened. So sorry. It should be fixed now. You should see the March instructions which you can just “print this post” or you can click on the Google document if you would prefer to print that or to make changes for yourself. Thanks ladies for pointing me in the right direction.

    what does 4 quart/4 gallons mean after things like “sweet and sour chicken”?

  3. Erin says:

    Ok I am very confused, this will be the first month I will be trying this and I don’t know if I am not reading this right or what…I guess I don’t understand the instructions..for instance I see where it says to assemble the enchiladas but I don’t see where it says to cook them or freeze them…am I missing something?

    • tricia says:

      You need to print out the “printable March 2010 menu” which has each of the recipe cards that you will need to go along with the instructions. At the bottom of this post is also a “Resources” section and reading the “Navigating the OAMM menu” is the best place to start! And of course feel free to email me specific questions that you have.
