I don’t know about you all, but February is a crazy month for our family (our wedding anniversary, Valentine’s Day, the beginning of Lent and a toddler birthday) and, in some ways, I feel like I’m STILL recovering from holiday cooking. So this month, I needed a break with an easy and delicious March menu. Eight, yes more than half, of the March menu items are No Cook OAMC Big Day meals. Woohoo!  Oh happy cooking day!

In spite of its simplicity on cooking day, the March menu still celebrates seasonal ingredients with flair. Strawberries, Rhubarb, Spinach, Broccoli and Asparagus all have starring roles this month.

For a detailed explanation of what is involved in creating the vegetarian menu we have a post explaining it all. If you are new and not sure how to get started we have a wonderful series starting with 5 easy steps to get you on your way to once a month cooking. 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! If you are interested in test cook, feel free to volunteer. Here is a little bit about this month’s test cooks:

• Taryn Jeffries – I am a wife, mother of 2 boys (Aiden 6 and Cole 2), Accountant by day and Staff Writer for PhoenixBites.com.  I love to cook the best possible meals for my family and love trying out new things.

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!
