Oh the Awesomeness

In the last 2.5 weeks, Collin and I have had a delicious, home-cooked dinner every week night, and I have only cooked 2 of those nights. Are you wondering how this is possible? Let me tell you, it is awesome. A couple of my friends have brought up a sort of co-op dinner thing several times to me, but I always backed out of it because I was worried it would be too hard with my weird working schedule (Since basically, I work right through the dinner hour, meaning Collin and I usually get to dinner around 8 or 9 pm). BUT, a few weeks ago a friend of mine brought it up again when a few of us were together, and I agreed! I was skeptical, but it has been so great! Now I am thinking we should have started this up a long time ago! I wanted to post it on here just because if you're interested in doing it, don't be discouraged because it is really great and not a big deal.

So how ours works is, there are 4 of us, so we each have one night of the week, the same night each week. (Mine is Tuesday, since that's my small teaching day) On our day, we make enough dinner for all 4 families and take it around. It's usually one main dish and one or two sides, nothing fancy. SO, we each cook a big load once, but get to not even worry about dinner the other 3! If you ask me it is a win-win. And I can't believe I was worried about it working with my schedule, because it is actually fabulous! Now, instead of once I get done teaching, having to quickly whip up some dinner while meanwhile Collin has been starving for 3 hours, dinner is already here, hot and ready to eat! I am telling you, it is awesome. Hopefully my friends think my cooking is okay, that is the only thing I worry about...!!
