Hey girls! Its time to start thinking about our meal exchange for next month. Lets right now plan on June 7th at 8pm. You can give it a few days to decide for sure if you want in on the next exchange but let us know as soon as you do and lets nail down a for sure RSVP by May 31st. Also have your recipe posted on this blog by the same day. We were missing some last month so lets try and get them all in. I know there has been some issues in posting. Hopefully they are fixed now. Or just FB message it and I'll put it on. All rules still apply but here are a few things that should be considered when planning your recipe.
*Quite a few have voiced that we no longer do "crock pot" meals. Heated up in the crock pot ok but all meals must be cooked. We have become so lazy with this, the thought of planning to throw it in in the morning seams unbearable :)
*Nutrition should be taken into consideration as well. Fresh is always best! Every time something is cooked, frozen then reheated it looses some of its nutritional value. With that said, please try and not used canned, processed or already frozen foods. Of course its going to need to happen sometimes. Just try and put your best foot forward with it. If using, lets say frozen peas, keep them frozen in the assembly process so they aren't cooked then frozen again. Use fresh, not already frozen meats. Things like that. Chopping can be a pain when you need to chop a million veggies. (Use that food processor) Just know you only have to do it once a month!
*Each family is to get a good 6 servings out of your meal.
*In my ward (San Destin) a sweet young family lost their Mother. If you would like to make an extra meal or surrender one of yours at the exchange, please let me know. I will be contacting Bro. Marquez to let him know to make freezer room for some meals. I will deliver them after.
FYI Last month I used my Kitchen Aid with the paddle attachment to shred my chicken. It. Was. Amazing!!
*Also, we have all been doing recipe research on line. Post on the FB page ideas of recipes that you like to help other decide what to make.
Okey Dokey? Thanks everyone!U
