Food glorious food

On Saturday I teamed up with friends Jessie and Montelle for a cooking extravaganza. We each brought along two recipes for meals that can be frozen and stored, along with enough ingredients for each of us to take home a dish. So, we each were supposed to walk out with 6 dinners, but really ended up with about 10 due to the quantity. We made sausage penne, Mexican lasagna, chicken pot pie, chili, cheesy chicken enchiladas, and stuffed shells. It took about 5 hours with all the clean-up...not bad. It really was a lot of fun and I hope to do it again soon.

That is such a great idea. I might have to try something like this with no carb/sugar meals. It would definitly save me a lot of time.

Nothing better than pre-prepared meals when the weather turns warm. Did Charlotte get to play with Aaron?

Aaron did play with Charlotte - he is amazing with babies. He just sat there and moved a plastic butterfly to and fro for her to watch. He seemed bored by it, but he knew she liked it so he kept on. What a great kid!

AWESOME IDEA! How wonderful to know you can just pop one of those into the oven and dinner is set.
