Spork and Skewer

I know I promised I would do a post after our cooking day. I know it has been two weeks. I have no excuse. Please forgive me!

I would like to introduce you to some of our Freezie Cooking members.

Amanda

Melissa

Miranda

Me (Katie)

Cheryl was also present, but she left before I pulled out the camera (if only everyone had been so lucky!)

Notice my cute penguin apron. Kim (another one of our cooks), who could not make it, embroidered it. I love it!

Miranda and I started cooking around 8:30 am and the group finished by 3:15. We are getting good.

So far, Miles and I have had the kabobs, which were good, but the only freezer prep needed was cubing and marinating the meat. We also ate some of our chili pepper burgers last night for dinner. These had tons of flavor. The green onions and green chillies made these burgers extra tasty. I will let you know how the rest of the food is as we eat it. I will also try to post some pictures of the prepared food.

I know I owe you recipes. Baby is waking up, so those will have to wait until another day. See you soon!

Next Sunday, the 27th of February, my group of girlfriends (we call ourselves the Freezies) will be getting together for our third session of freezer cooking. Each of us will take home eight entrees and one side. Each dish serves 4-6, and will be packaged to keep in the freezer and pull out to thaw and pop in the the oven or on the stove top when life gets hectic. I will be documenting our day of cooking and publishing recipes next week.

Here is our upcoming menu:

1. Steak Shish Kebabs
2. Chicken Cordon Bleu
3. Sante Fe Meatloaf
4. Cranberry Pork
5. Stuffed Peppers
6. Asian Glazed Chicken
7. Chile Pepper Burgers
8. Taco Pie
9. Hashbrown Potato Casserole (side)

 Wow, life can sure get hectic. As you most of you know, Miles and I are now the proud Mommy and Daddy of our new little girl, Alice Katherine. She was born at the end of December, and I think we are finally settled in. I feel it is time for me to return to my blogging. Since our life is so full of love, it seems very appropriate to post my Valentine meal from earlier this week.

Miles and I had a very low key Valentines Day this year. Since Alice is just seven weeks old, we are home a lot. We also decided it would be a smart idea to conserve funds this year, soooo... needless to say, we stayed home for Heart Day this year. Actually, it was kind of nice. Miles cooked a chicken dinner for me on Saturday, and I cooked these Salmon Love Pockets (yes, I named them) on Monday, which was Valentines Day. They look fancy, taste fantastic, and are baby friendly to prepare because they can be made ahead of time, perhaps while baby is sleeping. Miles cleaned his plate, I bet you and your sweetie will do the same.
