Freezer Meal Group

I have always tried to keep my freezer stocked with some meals ready to pull out and heat up.  Sometimes life is too crazy to come home after a day at work/kids at school and cook a big meal.  I mean MOST of the time life is too crazy...  :-) 

My friend Sara asked a few girls if we would be interested in getting together and making freezer meals.  The first time we met up at Sara's house and had 5 meals to cook.  Each girl brought enough of her recipe to make that dish 5 times!  We each bring our own meat for the 5 meals though.  So we email out what we are making  and bring the hamburger already cooked, the chicken shredded or raw chicken breast.  Whatever the recipes call for.    Check out Sara's Blog HERE and read her following post of the recipes we made then!

We met at my house the second time.  Not only do we cook, but we enjoy cheeseballs and wine or last time chips/salsa and margaritas!  We kill two birds with one stone!!!  We have girls time and we provide yummy meals for our family!  Plus its just good for the soul to cook with your girlfriends!






I know Sara has pictures of all of us again with our pile of food.  This time some of us brought along "extra" for everyone.  Rachel brought Pumpkin choc. chip muffins, Sara brought loafs of homemade french bread, Jody brought jars of homemade salsa and I gave out bags of cream cheese choc. chip cookie dough.  I was kinda waiting on Sara to do a post of all the recipes we cooked this time so I could just tag it.  Come on Sara...get with it!  Lol  I don't have the recipes, but Rachel made Lasagna, Sara made Cowboy Lasagna, Jody made a Breakfast Casserole, Tara made Taco Soup and I made Chicken Chili. 

With next month being December, we didn't have a weekend that we could get together and spend an afternoon.  So we are going to make our recipe x 5 and exchange after dinner and drinks out!  Girls night + freezer meals = WONDERFUL!!!

Colorado Family Trip Day #1

Image
Well I haven't blogged in years, but have missed it so much!  Life is crazy and I want to be able to look back at all the fun we have had.  Last week, we headed to the mountains in Cuchara, CO.  We have vacationed with Joe's family to this tiny town since Molly was our only Murphy grandkid (now there are 8!). We left early Wednesday morning and we are beyond thankful that we have such great little travelers!  We made it 4 hours with NO stops.  That's amazing for all of us! Everyone beat us out there.  So we had a warm welcome from Doug, Ben & Tracy (Parker -3 and Evie 1) and Grandma Candy and Papa Tom. The cabin has a giant deck that we spend most of our time on.  There is nothing better than a cup of coffee in the morning out in the cool mountain air. Evie is now walking everywhere and smiles all the time.  It took some warming up to us, but we all won her over (until her parents were around, then she wanted them)....

Family Fun Night

  The other night the girls planned a Family Fun night for us!  We played air hockey (I won!), sang karaoke and watched some shows.  I asked the girls what they wanted to eat at the Family Fun night.  They said Hot Wings!   Lol.  Our neighbors (Dale Family Farms) sells their beef, pork and chicken from their shop at the farm.  It's so convenient to run down the road and get some wings.  Joe seasons them up with some olive oil and seasoning salt.  Grills them and dips them a few times in a mixture of Frank's Wing Sauce and butter.   I finish them under the broiler to crisp up the skin.  The wings we get at DFF are big and meaty!   I roasted some potatoes and cut up some fruit to go with our hot wings.  I should say that they are not too spicy at all.  It's always fun to eat downstairs since I'm a stickler for only eating at the dining room table or at the bar! It is fun that the girls still enjoy our company! I know th...
