This past weekend, we had a Cooking Ahead Workshop at our church for any ladies that wanted to cook some meals ahead and put in the freezer. (John, who is a bachelor, joined us also.) We made 4 different meals: Shepherd's Pie, Chicken Fingers, Stuffed Cheese Shells, and Twice Baked Potatoes to put in our freezers. We met the previous Saturday to plan how many of each course everyone wanted to make. Then Candi (who headed this up) purchased the ingredients and we all cooked together. It was so much fun and very cheap! I put everything in the computer and made spreadsheets for each meal figuring how much everyone owed per serving based on the cost per meal. The Shepherd's Pie came out to $2 for a 4 person serving! By cooking all together we were able to plan ahead, have fun, and save money in the process, by buying in bulk! We used the idea from 30 Day Gourmet. We're looking forward to doing this again. Cadillac News even came and took pictures and interviewed us on what we were doing. It's supposed to be in the paper this week. How fun!
