VEGETARIAN June 2011 OAMM Menu (OAMC, Freezer Cooking, Bulk Cooking, Power Cooking)
Welcome to the first Vegetarian OAMM menu and what a perfect time to release this vegetable-filled freezer delight. The official start of Summer is on the horizon and so many delicious veggies are at their peak.
Roasted Vegetable Quinoa
As a long time OAMM traditional menu vegetarian-converter, I’m grateful for the opportunity to share this original vegetarian menu for OAMM. And I hope you all enjoy the selections I’ve made for the month. I planned the meals around what is in season (and what you may be getting from your farmer’s markets and CSA boxes) as well as the holidays for the month. Several of the recipes will make great additions to potlucks and parties (essential for graduation month and let’s not forget Father’s Day brunches!) as well as delicious at-home meals.
I hope you all enjoy the Vegetarian OAMM menu selections and have a great June.
I hope you enjoy these meals as much as our early readers/cooks have. If you are new and not sure how to get started, read here. And there are several other helpful links under the Helpful Hints/Resources section below to help you on your cooking journey. Good luck!

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! Here is a little bit about this month’s test cooks:
- Margaret Done – I’m a mom of a preschooler who spends my days teaching in a prison and my nights teaching cake decorating and hanging out with my family. I’ve been cooking all my life and love spending time teaching my daughter how to cook and bake.

What do you think of VEGETARIAN June 2011’s menu?
If you are feeling abundantly blessed and generous feel free to donate. :) But don’t feel guilty if you aren’t able.
SO excited to try this! Converting recipes gets tiring, and with 4 kids 6 and younger, I need all the “easy” things I can get! Thank you so much!
Jennifer – There are some great easy recipes here! I can tell you my daughter LOVED the cheesy chickpeas and broccoli – I was so surprised she ate it up! She kept saying “can I have more of these meatballs?” (the chickpeas).
The french toast was a huge hit too. We modified the buffalo wings to BBQ wings and she surprised me by eating that all up too!
It’s really nice having it all in the freezer just waiting to be eaten!
Margaret, Thank you so much for throwing in your reviews from your test cooking! We appreciate that.
Oh wow! I’m so glad I can help and I bet you do need “easy”…I get tuckered out with my 2 under 3. And I know what you mean about converting, tiring and it can fail miserably, too.

I am having trouble opening/viewing the vegetarian menu for June. Each time I click on the link, Google docs opens and says that the URL cannot be found and the author may have deleted the link.
Any tips or suggestions?
Occasionally Google has a hiccup. I tried the links to the printable recipe cards and that was working for me. If you were unable to access another document let me know and I will check into that one too. Hopefully Google will be working again when you try again.
this is so helpful! Now, to figure out how to alter this for my vegetarian, gluten/dairy free, and on Weight Watchers family….LOL!!
Hah! That’s got to be exciting. The recipes marked with an asterisk (*) are already vegan, so those should be fine for your dairy free requirement. As for the gluten-free, as long as you substitute brown rice bread or your preferred gluten-free bread, you should be fine there (with, of course, gluten-free sauces, etc., as per labels). As for the weight watchers…shew…a lot of the recipes are relatively low calorie due to the lack of meat. If you’re eliminating the dairy, that would also go a long way toward calorie reduction I’m sure. Let me know if you need any help with adjustments and substitutions, I’ll see if I have any ideas. :) Good luck!

I know this is late, but I noticed an error in the spreadsheet with the recipe cards. It’s on the “rice balls” page… the formula reads (the cell) x A5… but A5 is text, so I’m getting a #VALUE error… I’m going to just do the math myself on this, but just a head’s up:)
I’m having a hard time recreating the error you’re seeing. Everything seems okay on my end.
