Oh My Goodness! I just discovered your site and it’s AMAZING! I do believe I will go grocery shopping tonight and pick up with February! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’m a new stay-at-home-mom, but I’m struggling getting on a routine that works, and only having to really prep and cook food once a month will be a blessing!
Welcome! Let us know if you have questions along the way. We are sure it will help you.
Can someone give me instructions on thawing and reheating the ham and egg cups? They sound great!
All the freezing and reheating instructions can be found in the printable recipe documents of the menu. Those are on the main post.
Hi, super excited to have found this site and am getting ready to print all of my documents to try the program for the first time this month. However, I can’t figure out how to change the number of people I’ll be cooking for. I clicked on the link for printing the recipe cards because that’s where it says you can change this number, but I can’t figure out how to do it. Please help!
Thanks!

Wondering if anyone has tried adding hamburger or anything similar to the pizzadilla’s? I’m thinking my husband and I might like a little more fillings and I was going to substitute the hamburger for the pepperoni for our 7 year old. Thanks!
I haven’t tried it but it should work just fine! Fill with whatever toppings you enjoy.
I was thinking the same thing, plus my husband loves sausage on his pizza … but by the time I got to the pizzadillas, I had no energy or room to make the sausage, so I just stuck with Turkey Pepperoni! Let us know how it turns out!
I am so excited to try this out! I don’t own a slow cooker (and likely don’t have space for one) any easy way to modify recipes/night before meat cooking without a slow cooker? Thanks!
Just brown it in batches.
