I have an ambitious friend (we will call her Leslie) who lets me tag along on her big ideas and feel like I'm a productive & organized type of Mom. A few months ago she found a book called "30 Meals in One Day:Dinner is Ready". Sounds ambitious doesn't it? Let me tell you it is, but with Leslie's organization skills and drive, and my support :) we made it happen.
We spent Monday night shopping and the last couple of days putting the meals together. It was more like 40 meals in 2 days, pry about 25 different recipes. She has a lil boy about 6 months younger than Tyler so we decided to get a babysitter to help watch the kids while we combined our efforts to make this happen. I have to admit between poopy diapers, nursing and screaming (all from my kids) Leslie did most of the work, but I was happy to provide the work space in my fabulous (almost completed) kitchen. This is what it was designed to do, provide the space needed to make lots & lots of food.

I have pictures but currently having a lil computer problem and unable to download them. Yes Leslie I did have a lot of fun and look forward to doing it with the kids at a different location. :)
Anyone interested I would definitely go get this book, it has an awesome computer program with it where you pick the recipes, which falli n the categories: Stove Top, Slow Cook, Oven & Assemble. It has recipe cards, freezer labels and shopping lists ready to print. It even takes the different recipes and combines them with the total amounts for the shopping lists, categorized.
