When Cheryl and I talk about how we survived the "early years" with young kids, we fondly remember our meal swaps. The two of us and two other trusted girlfriends would do a frozen meal swap about once a month. We would each choose a different recipe and make a super large batch of it so that is could be divided into eight 9x9 cake pans. We'd share them around so that each mom took home 2 of each of the 4 different dishes. One big mess, 8 delicious meals.
If you're looking for a way to save time, money & mess in the kitchen, and have a few like-minded cooks in your circle of friends, we dare you to give it a try.

Wow, I hadn't thought about this in a long time. I miss those meal swap days...I miss you guys! And I just made a big batch of chili. Would either of you like to meet me half-way to swap? ;)
I'd meet you half way anyday, baby!
But what I remember most about those years was that you were the friend who reminded me to feed my kids veggies and Cheryl was the friend who reminded me that, in a pinch, Tim Bits make a good lunch too.
Haha! Those were good days. I'm grateful to have those memories. You two were what kept me sane...
