I haven’t heard of this problem before and this is an older menu, so not sure how much response we will see. I have heard that if tortillas aren’t fresh when originally making or not slightly heated this can be a problem but that is all I can think of.

Just made the taquitos last night; although my hubby said they tasted fantastic, every single one of my corn tortillas broke when rolling filling in them. So the pan looked like one big mess of meat and tortilla pieces. I followed directions exactly and even read the original blot post this recipe came from and how come her tortillas didn’t crack? Anyone else have this problem? Thanks! Love this blog!

Yay! My partner and I cooked today! Things went pretty smoothly. We got everything done in 8 hours (much better than last month’s 12!) We prechopped the night before, and also I portioned the uncooked chicken into bags when I bought it, so we just added sauce to the bags! We assembled Chicken Fajitas instead of making the Chicken Curry-so it was a lot faster! You for sure want 1/2 again as much spaghetti sauce for the lasagna. And you might as well make a double batch of muffins-they were nice munching on during the day (thankfully we had planned on this)! The other thing I would recommend is a candy bar before you start kitchen cleanup. I normally don’t eat them, but they sure taste good after working all day! Thanks for all the work you gals do making this possible for the rest of us!

actually we couldn’t find any either so ended up mixing cheddar cheese soup and nacho cheese soup? Anyone else find any?

Was just wondering where everyone has found the Pepperjack Cheese Soup. Is there a brand or particular store where you can find this? I am having trouble! Thanks!

Lasagna: We only doubled this recipe so it should have only been 8 cups. I will make note that it seemed like there should be more.

First of all, Melissa and I are very grateful for all of the work you guys do on this website! It is such a wonderful resource. Melissa and I did the June menu today! This time though I cooked up the breakfast items the day before our big OAMC and its a good thing we did! Several of the menu items were very time consuming but looked delicious!

Here a few things we noticed:

TAQUITOS: its supposed to be 2 tablespoons of spices and not 4. We ended up having to throw the meat out because of the salt.

LASAGNA: We didn’t have enough sauce. It should be 12 cups of sauce instead of 8. We’re just going to buy extra sauce when we actually bake them.

SOUP:
The soup should have macaroni pasta and not regular spaghetti like the grocery list says, although we just broke up the spaghetti and used it and it worked fine!

I think that’s it for now! Thanks so much girls:)

Yay! So glad you didn’t give up on it. Sometimes abbreviated menus are good.

Sis and I did ALL of the May OAMC menu – this month we’ve decided to stick to the Mocha Chip Muffins, Taquitos, Tator Tot Casserole, and Chicken Enchilada Casserole. We still have quite a few meals left from May… so this will get us through July as well. Can’t wait for the next menu to come out as we will be doing ALL of that one as well

I often put the equivalent in dry ingredients instead of fresh since we are shopping the entire month. If you have fresh basil available (which is likely this time of year) I encourage you to use it. But the dried basil is listed correctly in this case as a substitute.

Looks like you put a lot of thought and hard work into this site, I’m loving it
I was going through the grocery list and recipes and I noticed that it looks like you have 1 cup of dried basil on the grocery list, but for the pinwheels on his website he uses fresh. You may want to look into that.

Here’s what John said about the BBQ Meatloaf:

“The soup is the canned condensed kind (I use Campbell’s)

Yes, you want to cook it uncovered. Also, make sure the fat can drain.

Enjoy,
John”

Not sure about the soup. Feel free to write the original author at their site, he is very kind. I'd love to know the answer too. And it looks like it is best to make it without the foil on.

I made up the BBQ meatloaves but was unclear on 2 things:
(1) For the condensed french onion soup, is that in it’s liquid form or just the powder?
(2) Bake uncovered?
Thanks!

I made the taquitos, but the amount of salt isn’t right. It’s “to taste” on the original recipe. Four tablespoons would be way too much. Great recipe!

Found my dried tomatoes and chopped red peppers already..stopped at a farmers market for corn to add to (honey/mustard pork chops) and found a ginormous box of peppers and tomatoes for $3..they were all bruised/slight damaged. No problem, I pulled out the dehydrator and sliced the tomatoes up..they’re going as I type..and chopped up the red peppers that were included..just enough for my asian chicken pita salad and the curry for this month..popped into ziplocs and into the freezer..figured if I’m going to freeze it anyhow it doesn’t matter if I prefreeze…but that was a cost savings as my garden tomatoes aren’t ready yet and peppers have been running a buck a piece!
