Hello, I am new to OAMM and was wondering about how long I will need to commit to making all of these meals. Thanks.
If you are just talking cooking. It will take 8-12 hours depending on your skill level. You will put in other time to cook and should chop your ingredients the night before and that will take an hour or two depending on the month.
My family loved the Mexican Baked Penne from this menu so much that I’ve decided to make it again and keep one for us and take the other to a family who recently had a baby. I’m just wondering if anyone had any ideas of sides I could take the family to go along with this dish. Thanks.
There are several sides to choose from in the recipes index: http://onceamonthmom.com/oamm_meal_type/side/. I like to serve corn with dishes like this or green beans, nothing too fancy. Anyone else?
