RMG cooking night

I hosted the RMG (my mom's group) cooking session last Friday night. Like last time, it was a big success. Everyone was on time and we got done with enough time to chat for a bit at the end. It's amazing how much we can accomplish when we don't have kiddos hanging on our legs!

The moms pre-paid $30 each and I did all the grocery shopping, recipe printing, and prep-cooking (only a couple of ingredients). We assembled our meals in about 2 hours. And I even remembered to take lots of pictures this time!

Another RMG cooking session

Once again, I'm hosting a cooking session for my mom's group, RMG. It will be Friday, April 9th in the evening.

It's been so long, but I think I remember that we got done in about 90 minutes last time, with 6 cooks. So this time, I chose recipes that are slightly more complex and wouldn't you know it, we've only got 5 people signed up to cook. I think it will work out all right, though.

We are making:
Meatloaf
Stuffed Shells
Chicken in Phyllo
Sausage Biscuits
Garlic Bread

RMG Cooking Session

I love my moms group!

I volunteered to host a cooking session for my moms group. If you're a member of RMG, check out the calendar for July 17th; we will meet at 6:00 PM. It looks like it will be a popular event, all the spots were filled the same day it was announced!

Our menu is:
Quiche *I switched to a different recipe on 7/6/09; click new link!
Monica's BBQ Chicken
Simple Salisbury Steaks
Pizza Pasta Casserole
Garlic Bread

Same concept as the usual Meals Made Ahead freezer cooking group. This will be a little different because I've never cooked with these women before but I'm sure it will be fun. I can't wait!

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."
