February 2010 Cooking Day

I'm happy to report that today's cooking session went a lot smoother than last time.

We made:
Italian Cirtus Marinade (2 bags of marinade each to add our own chicken or pork at home)
Simple Salisbury Steaks (1 meal)
Basic Meatballs (62 meatballs!)
Pasta with Herb Sauce (1 side dish, serves 4-6)
French Toast (1 loaf of bread each)

Make sure to check out the recipes for the Meatballs and the Pasta with Herb Sauce. Pictures and nutritional info were added for both. I can't promise that every recipe will get nutritional info in the future, but it's something I want to work on.

We spent only $14.17 a piece! Woo hoo! That more than makes up for last month.

We will cook again in exactly one month, on March 23rd. Stay tuned for the menu.

Wowza! I want to do this with some of my friends here in Madison. What a great idea.

Anna- if you can find a good group of friends to work with, it's totally worth it. I just made a new page where I compiled my little series of posts about how it works for us. Check it out over there in the side bar. --->

About this blog:

We are a group of moms who get together about once a month or so to cook Meals Made Ahead.

Meals Made Ahead are great because it's nice to always have something in the freezer for those nights that are busy, those nights when you can't think of anything to make, those nights when you have nothing to cook with because you didn't feel like dragging two screaming kids through the grocery store, those nights when you just don't feel like cooking.

Sure, we could do this on our own. But it's much more fun to cook with friends (and share the clean up!)

The secret ingredient

"If a woman could see the sparks of light going forth from her fingertips when she is cooking, and the substance of light that goes into the food she handles, she would be amazed to see how much of herself she charges into the meals that she prepares for her family and friends. It is one of the most important and least understood activities of life, that the radiation and feeling that go into the preparation of food affect everyone who partakes of it. And this activity should be unhurried, peaceful, and happy because the substance of the lifestream performing the service flows into that food and is eaten, and actually becomes part of the energy of the receiver. It would be better that an individual did not eat at all than to eat food that has been prepared under a feeling of anger, apathy, resentment, depression, or any outward pressure."
