Dinner's too much work?
Try a dinner exchange with your friends!
Get a group of 2 to 5 friends together, that's what I did with some friends! We emailed ahead of time with a list of our food allergies, hates, and dislikes. The bigger the group the more difficult it maybe, but it worked for us.
We met once every one to two months and exchanged 1 meal with each person. We made sure that the meals were or could be frozen.
Here are some of the dinners we exchanged:
Stuffed Green Peppers
Quiche
Soups, Chili, Green Chili Stew
Lasagna
Sausage Polenta Casserole
Tater Tot Casserole
Chicken Rice Casserole
Need one of these recipes? Leave me a message and I'll get it to you! Have a great recipe? Leave it in the comments for me to try!!
My ramblings about life and stuff. I like to sew, craft, cook, garden, and look for ideas on Pintrest! So that's what I'll write about, hope you enjoy!

My Soda Making Adventure!
Facebook Your Notes: "I first heard about making my own soda through a podcast. It's called CRAFT: Craft Podcast the episode is from 4/30/10, if you'd like to check it out. I've also looked it up online.
So I made mine with about a 1/2 to 2/3 cup of frozen apple juice concentrate (I think it was apple, it might be mixed fruit), boiling water, frozen blueberries, and 4 tea bags of BerryBlossom White. I didn't add any additional sugar, just the sugar from the juice.
I let the mixture cool to 110F (per the directions of the yeast I used). Using a cheese cloth I strained it into the 2L bottle using a funnel. I added 3/4t of Dry Active Yeast. This was way too much! I expected the bubble formation to take 24hrs. It only took 4 or 5, I think because of the lack of extra sugar the yeast didn't completly ferment (which for me was good!)!
I tried it, and it's pretty yummy, it's not very sweet (which I like, but it probably should be sweetened a little more). There is a bit a sediment in the bottom, and it does have a bit of a yeasty after taste, but it's not so much to be put off by it.
Next time I want to try it with more fresh fruit and a different yeast. Let me know if you try to make some and how it turns out!"
