As I returned from the grocery store this afternoon, armed with the groceries to prepare the meals on the menu this week, I started thinking about my need to pre-prepare meals and have them frozen and ready in my freezer for evenings or weeks when I just don’t want to cook. This made me think of this concept I read about in the September 2010 issue of Real Simple magazine.
The article was titled “The Great Dinner Swap” and detailed the idea of a group of people coming together to share meals. For example, if 6 people/families were involved in the group, each person would prepare 6 easily frozen meals to share with the other members. Then, following the swap, each person/family would have 6 different meals!
It seems to me that this can be an ongoing thing, or occur just once. I think it would be fun to do once a month or bi-monthly to allow for a random assortment of meals. I think that it would also be important for the swappers to live in Lincoln, and perhaps even find a common drop location to exchange the meals. Is anyone interested in trying this out? If so let me know! My email is hkmcquillan@gmail.com. Email or comment and we can discuss ideas/details. Below I have added links to the Real Simple article and the tips given for a successful swap.
Slainte!
