Notes from First Meeting

Some quick notes on our awesome meeting this evening are found below. Feel free to modify or add to this where you'd like.

We agreed to get together 9:00 am on May 3rd in Julie's kitchen to prepare the following meals for freezing:
- Cheesy Vegetable Pasta Casserole
- Chicken/Turkey Burgers
- Chicken Pot Pie
- Chicken Souvloki

Still need a suggestion for the 5th meal - could possibly be frozen pizzas or perhaps something baked. We tossed around the idea of chicken nuggats or something that we would normally reach into the freezer for.

Idea will be to tripple our recipes so that we each go home with one of each recipe. We'll try to stick to seasonal foods where we can. This time of year BBQ things - later in the fall perhaps try some lovely soups...

We agreed to pick up the ingredients for assigned meals, keep the receipts and sort out how much we owe on the day of.

Some planning needs to be done to sort out how to store some of these meals but we can come up with something.

I'll reread the tips section of Julie's book and post anything that might help us plan things better.

Action Items:
- each of us give some thought as to the fifth meal (maybe six would work better from a preparation point of view here because then we would each be responsible for showing up with prep work on 2 meals? - what do you think?)
- sort out who is prepping what meal
- make up our grocery lists
- determine what items we need to bring along to Julie's
- determine how much work can be prepped ahead of time
- determine any outstanding storage issues

That's all for now - VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS!
