Feb. cooking...DONE!

So, we are finished cooking for the day. It took us an hour and a half (because I am a freak about advanced prep work and probably do way, way more before everyone gets here than I should!) to finish everything. We went away with 5 meals for a total cost per person of $31.91. As usual, I forgot to take pictures until the very end so there is only one snap shot!

Next month we are doing 10 recipes. (YES, 10!) Christina is due to have baby #4 on April 18th and wants to have her freezer stocked. The rest of us don't mind the extra meals, so we are going to give it a go! We have decided to pre-pay $65 for the month and see where that takes us. We are trying a few new recipes-one called Adrianna's Pasta Pie that we are excited about, Pizza Burgers (recipe to be posted later), and a Beef Burgundy Tip recipe from Mary. (All of us here at the WI group have already tasted it and it is super, duper yummy!)

Until next month...

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."
