Cooking Day!

Today, my small group friends came over to my house and for two hours, we cooked together.

I have always loved this concept, and while I have done it once before as meals for a friend, this time....I get to keep the meals!

Each lady brought all the ingredients for two recipes and made four (9x13) pans from each recipe. That would be eight pans, per lady. When it was all said and done, we had made 32 pans of food all together! Each one of us, now has 8 separate meals in our freezers tonight!

Here is our Menu:

Sheila....Lasagna & Chicken Wild Rice Casserole

Rose....Pizza Casserole & Chicken Enchiladas

Tina....Beef Stroganoff & Chicken Tortilla Soup

Vicki....South of the Boarder Casserole & Baked Bean Casserole

We had our meats pre-cooked and all our vegetables chopped, before hand! That makes a huge difference on time! But two hours of cooking for one week of dinner meals....not bad at all!!
I would like to do this often, and as we learn and polish the process....maybe do once a month cooking!! I love that idea!
All I have to do is pull a meal out of the freezer to thaw, stick it in the oven, make a fresh garden salad or side dish to accompany the meal....set the table and holler..."Dinner's Ready!!"
