Casserole Day

I was privileged to be allowed to participate in my first ever Casserole Bake. I don't know what else to call it right now, but that is exactly what we did. A group of young ladies (yes, I think I was the oldest there) gathered together to assemble a large quantity of entrees for a couple from our church who is expecting their firstborns. Yes, twin boys!




Start to finish, it was two hours. It took our coordinator a good bit longer than that! (thanks Jo!) But I thought it was great fun! This idea needs to be packaged! What a great reason to get together and cook! At the end, there are two coolers worth of dinners for a blessed couple! Just take them out of the freezer and bake! What a great idea for a new mom and dad! I really think we could get this down to a "science", and periodically do these for a variety of occasions! Cooking together is much more fun than doing it alone! (And these girls did the dishes, too!~WOW!) Thanks for including me gals! I had a blast!
(Now I've got to do my own bit o'bulk cooking!)
