Are you a person that likes to see the menus visually? Perhaps you should check out the August 2012 Vegetarian Menu via Pinterest to see the yummy goodness you will be cooking up on this menu. Not sure what Pinterest is all about, check out what Once A Month Mom has to say about it.
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:

Where can I find nutrition information for the recipes? I’m interested in trying the vegetarian menu, but I’m dieting. I’m curious how many calories per day the menu averages. I see there is a diet menu, but it’s not vegetarian. I suppose with some ingredient substitutions, the vegetarian menu could be made lighter. Can you shed any light on nutrition info?
Nico at this time we only use nutritional information for the diet menu. We have an easy time and great success with http://www.caloriecounter.com
Is it possible that the recipe for the peach banana muffins is wrong? 3 3/4 cups of flour for 6 muffins seems a bit too much. I’m afraid to make them but they sound so good!
I think that was suppose to read 2 servings (12 muffins), I have changed the servings to reflect that, the ingredients are correct.
I’m not sure what the average size of watermelon is around the country, but three medium-sized watermelon got me about 15 cups of watermelon, a bit more than the 3 cups called for in the recipe. Luckily, I also found a recipe for watermelon margaritas.
Sorry Marissa it’s hard to make it simple across the board. But hope the margs were good!
