Normally, we have 5-6 girls come to each cooking day and we each choose 2 meals for a total of 10-12. We will most likely be skipping a formal cooking day in December due to the holiday craziness (we may end up doing a swap, or mini day. Stay tuned for more details!), and instead opted to each choose 3 meals, with an additional 2 to make an even 20. Since we almost always have leftovers, this should be enough to get us through mostly until our next January cooking day.
MEALS:
Pastry-Wrapped Breakfast Sausages with Maple Dijon Dipping Sauce
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Calzones
Funeral Potatoes

SHOPPING LIST
These meals will generally feed 6 families of 4 adults.
*Note: We have a Freezer Club inventory that stays at my (April) house, and generally do not include the regular spices like pepper, cumin, cinnamon, etc. unless we are using a lot or are running low. We also may go low on the onions (we ALWAYS seem to have way too many for our taste) and stretch the meat/cheese a little to save on costs.
