WOW. Some of you have such great organizational skills! You all inspired me to try OAMC cooking. I have never done anything like this before, but was intrigued. I wanted to make my own menu based on my and DH’s tastes and preferences, incorporating chicken, beef and pork. This menu is not as extensive as some, but it was a good starting point for me. I hope it’s helpful to some of you as well!

Line 9 x 12” (and 9x9" pan, if you have extra shells) baking pan with foil, spray with nonstick spray and assemble shells per steps 4, 5 and 6. Cover with foil and freeze. When frozen, remove foil and entree from pan and place in large Ziploc bags.

Make-Ahead Twice-Baked Potatoes, heat oven to 350 and prep potatoes per steps 2-7.
3) In a bowl, combine dry seasoning ingredients for
OAMC Chicken Fajita Kits . In a large skillet, sauté pre-cut onions and peppers as directed. Cool and divide into 3 quart-size Ziplocs. In second large skillet, brown pre-cut chicken and season with your seasoning mix. Cool and divide into 3 quart-size Ziploc bags. Follow steps 4-6 then place into gallon size Ziploc bags.
