WI Chapter of MMA

Hi All,

It has been a while since I have had the pleasure of doing Freezer Co-op since our move last summer. While I have been dreaming of the ease of pulling a meal from the freezer on those busy, busy days where nothing seems to be going as planned, I probably still would not have had the motiviation to start another group if it hadn't been for my two sister-in-laws and a friend asking me about it. This is all the prompting I needed to start a new chapter in Slinger, Wisconsin. Lisa has been gracious enough to invite our new group to share great recipes, cooking experiences, and this most excellent Blog!

Below are introductions to the three ladies who will be joining me in the Wisconsin Chapter of Meals Made Ahead:

Jackie (SIL #1) is a 41 year old Teacher's Aid with three AWESOME kids, ages 20, 15, and 10. Being the busy mom she is, she has been talking about doing a freezer co-op with me months and months before I actually moved from Illinios.

Christina (SIL #2) is a 32 year old Correctional Officer (I think this is the proper title, anyway) with three AWESOME kids, ages 5, 3, and 1 and is also expecting baby number four this spring. I say four kids takes freezer co-op from a convenience to a necessity!

And last, but not least, is Mary, a 30 year old Distribution Shipping Coordinator/Assistant Inventory Manager and part-time Bank Teller. with one AWESOME son, age 7. She is one rockin' cook! (she is our Lisa!)

I am so excited for our very first cooking day and to chat it up on MMA!

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."
