I've been wanting to blog about this for quite a while now, but have never gotten around to it. As many of you know I am not a very good or motivated chef. Trav doesn't like much of anything, everything is "it's OK." And I've taken that personally over the years, but as Audrey is getting older and as we were going out to eat WAY too much, I've decided to do something about it!
I have the funnest neighbors, we really became friends through a play group that was started about 1.5 years ago. And in Feb decided to try this new dinner idea that a woman told me that she and her friends do.
So...how it works.
Monday-Michelle cooks a meal for everyone except Holly(They decided to only receive 3 meals)
Tuesday-Holly cooks a meal for everyone except Michelle
Wednesday-Suzanne cooks a meal for everyone
Thursday-Katie cooks meal for everyone
Friday/Saturday/Sunday-Fend for your self
UNDERSTANDING? So we only to cook once a week, and although we have to cook multiple meals, it's only one day a week! We are nearing the end of our second month and it's working out fabulously!!
We get together right before the month ends and plan the menu for the following month, Main dishes and one side.
Pretty cool that It's 4:01 and I have to leave for work at 5 and I'm just waiting for our dinner to show up. It's pretty much amazing! I'd definitely recommend it!!
Sounds good, but I wouldn't be able to do it. I forget to make dinner for my family and would feel much worse if I forgot for someone else. Does it save your grocery bill? I could see it saving a bit of money in some ways.

That is so fun! I think I might try that! I really like to cook and it is really hard to make a nice meal every night so that really would be so nice! You will have to let me know if it continues to go well. How are you feeling?
