Supper Club

About 3 weeks ago, Missy emailed me with an idea. Knowing that we are both busy and both eat out way too much, she suggested that every other Sunday, we each cook 3 casseroles. Instead of baking them in the 9 x 13 like we normally would, we are separating them. I keep 3 9 x 9s and give her the other 3. We only have to double a few of the recipes and we have 6 meals for a 2 week period. So far, it has been great! We have had homecooked meals 6 times, plus enough for lunch the next day. My grocery bill has been less than $120 for 2 weeks!

It works perfectly since we generally eat out on Fridays and Saturdays and have Bible study or family dinners on Sundays. That leaves me with only 1 meal to cook during the week.

When I was growing up, my mom had a supper club with our neighbors too, including Missy's mother-in-law, Tina. It's funny to me that we've come full-circle and are doing the things our parents did with us.

Over the last 2 weeks, we had these dinners:

Chicken and Rice
Chicken Spaghetti
Busy Day Casserole
Chicken Enchiladas
Chicken & Spinach Pasta Bake
Spaghetti

I've learned that my chicken enchiladas are not meant to be layered and that frozen dinners take a lot longer to cook than expected!

Sunday, I made King Ranch Chicken, Steak and Rice and Jambalaya. We ate Missy's version of Kara's BBQ Meatballs last night. They are probably my favorite!

I plan to share some of my recipes soon and will let you know the successes and failures.

Do you have any dinners that are easy and freeze well? You can leave your favorite recipes in the comments.
