dinner

Steak and veggie kabobs, that's what we had the other night. And BOY did they taste good! The great part was, all I had to do was assemble the kabobs and have Eric grill them! The ingredients were brought to our door! I LOVE our dinner club*!!!





We also did asparagus on the grill, but gobbled it up so fast that we forgot to take a picture of it too!

Now, go forth and have kabobs for supper! You won't be sorry! (Oh, but I'M sorry for you if you're not in a dinner club*)





*Dinner Club:
Five friends....dinner (main and side dish) brought to your door Mon-Thurs. Every fifth week you get your cooking day 'off' because there's one friend who 'floats'.

Let me make this a little clearer....we meet and schedule 3 months worth of meals (planning only the main dish) so we can stagger what we are having and not get burnt out. We've even 'vetoed' a few recipes! My cooking day is Tuesday. I cook food for all five families and deliver it to their (the other four) doors, usually early afternoon. It's ready to be placed in the oven or assembled or grilled, whatever it needs. Basically prepare it as much as possible for them. Since there are five of us and we only do it four days per week, our 'floater' gives each of us a week off...our turn comes every 5 weeks. She will cook Mon. one week, Tues. the next and so on and then she takes a week off too. We've been doing this since October of last year and we're really fine tuning it to fit our needs. All the families are about the same size and we've pretty much got the portions figured out. (we started out w/ WAY too much food!) There is usually enough left over for Eric to take for lunch the next day...or we sometimes eat it all as in the case of these kabobs! We are really cracking down on using healthy ingredients, i.e. whole wheat, fresh fruits/veggies/salads, no hydrogenated oils, etc.

So, there ya have it....that's our dinner club! AND I LOVE IT!!!!!
