Test Cooks
Each month we have some wonderful volunteers who “test” out the menu prior to publication. They do an amazing job of helping to eliminate confusion and mistakes. They may not catch everything but they sure do catch A LOT! If you are interested in test cook, feel free to volunteer. Here is a little bit about this month’s test cooks:
- Heather Allen- Freezer cooking veteran of 8 years, resource to several freezer cooking groups in my city. Work full time from home as a Nurse Auditor. Wife of 25 years and mom to 3 VERY hungry teen and pre teen boys!
Get Started
Are you new to Once A Month Mom or once a month cooking (oamc) in general? If so, you might want to spend a few minutes (or hours) on the Get Started Series. If you are in a real hurry to catch on we have written some simple steps for getting started. Welcome!
I love this menu! I’m headed to the kitchen now to get cooking, and I’m excited about all the yummy things we will be eating soon :-) I don’t know if you have made a change to the way you set up the labels, or if it’s my new laptop, but the labels are working (printing and editing) much better for me. Thank you SO much for all you do!
I may be missing something but there seems to be an error in the Honey Pecan Glazed Salmon. I’m cooking for 4 and the recipe download still calls for 1 pound of salmon fillets. If I split it into 2 freezer bags that means there will be 8 oz in each bag that is supposed to serve 4, yielding fish servings that are 2 oz each. That doesn’t seem right considering the original recipe for 4 requires 24 oz of salmon. What am I doing wrong?
You are right there should have been more salmon. I have corrected the quantities. Thank you.
Thank you for the correction! We made an adjustment on the fly as our cook day was Saturday. It is great to get validation of my math skills, though. :) Keep up the great work.
After finishing all of these and now having tried everything but the seafood meals… I am not sure if I have done something wrong or if others have had the same experience. What I yielded and what I expected were very different on many meals. I had a tremendous amount of leftover ground beef. I verified how much I bought, against how much I was supposed to brown before hand(cooking for 4) and still cannot figure it out. My skillet mac and cheese made 3 very full meals, probably could’ve made it 4 meals. Tater Tot Cass. also made almost double the expected. Then other meals, like Crispy SW Wraps didn’t make but a little more than half of the expected. Regardless of the outcome, all of the meals have been delicious so far. My very picky husband has also been impressed with flavor, he was nervous things would be bland or mushy from the freezer. I was sure not to make any special edits the only thing I changed was to put a number 4 in the yellow box on the spreadsheet. I used all of the tutorials and followed the instructions to the letter. I did one of the toddler mini menus prior to this with no issues at all…Any help or insight would be great!
So I have never done this before and am going to attempt this menu tomorrow. I do have some simply questions. If not indicated in directions to cook the meat can I use already frozen to put into the bags or if raw is it ok to put that into the bags that way (or both ways are ok)?

Rachel, yes as long as the marinade the meat is going into isn’t hot, you can definitely use frozen meat.
