Cooking Party

My good friend, Sally, sells homemade gourmet and did a cooking party at my house last week. We had a great time, and, in 1 hour, made 8 meals to go in the freezer. McKenna "helped" me make some appetizers-BBQ dip, Tiramisu cheeseball, and raspberry tea. The party consisted of 8 people. Each person had a station and they made 10 meals (2 people wanted meals but couldn't come). After everyone was finished, each person got one bag/meal at each station, 8 meals in all. It was so easy, and the food is sooooo good. I just pulled the mexican chicken tacos out of the freezer to have later this week.

Kevin was in charge of the kids during the party, 7 girls to be exact. My freezer before...And now, I'm stocked!

Once a Month

I found this blog a few weeks ago. Today, they put out the OAM May menu, recipes, and shopping list. I'm very intrigued by this concept. Tuesday night, I went to Sally's, and brought home 8 meals for the freezer, one of which we're having tomorrow night (Cilantro Citrus pork chops). I started making freezer meals when I found out Presley was breech and that I had to have a c-section. And this is my new favorite cookbook (beating out the Junior League Plano and Wichita books by a hair) For some crazy reason, I find comfort in knowing there's a meal in the freezer, especially on the days when there's nothing in the fridge. I try to make one or 2 freezer meals a week. Usually I just double whatever I'm making for a meal and stick the extra in the freezer. But I'm thinking about planning a OAM weekend to stock up.
What do you think? Do you make freezer meals?
