About meal sharing

I'm new to the idea of sharing meals, and have actually turned down a few invitations to join food groups. I love cooking and really enjoy feeding my family and trying new things. I was afraid of food groups becuase I didn't want a freezer full of things that I wouldn't eat. (However I know a few women who love freezer meal groups). I have joined a group consisting of 4 of us and our rules are simple, prepare an entree and two side dishes. We do not plan menus or worry about duplication. Basically you plan and prep a meal, just making much more, and we turn it over on Tuesdays at noon. I love not having to chop vegies for a salad, or worrying about planning every meal. I still have 4 days I can make what I want, and 3 meals in my fridge that only require me to finish them off. Usually I only have to put it in the oven or crockpot and steam the veggies. We have loved it.
Share your recipies and food sharing ideas with us.
