I did something new and fun today!! Me and three of my friends went and did "Social Suppers." It is a place where you assemble ready-to-cook meals while enjoying food samples, a drink and chatting with friends.
They have all the chopping and prepping done. You just read the recipe, measure the ingredients into the provided baggies or pans, and stick on a label. Voila!! Dinner on nights you don't want to think of cooking. You just dump the baggie into a pan, bake and eat. They have 13 choices, plus a dessert you can make. Some of the choices come with side dishes.
I made 6 meals and bought an Apple Strudel Pie from the already prepared freezer. The make it yourself dessert was velvety bread pudding, which is not my thing.
I made Steakhouse chicken with oven fries, grilled steaks with french onion mashed potatoes, chicken and sweet corn quesadillas with black beans and lime, chicken lasagna alfredo, panko breaded pork chops with tangy dipping sauce, and pork tenderloin with maple-cranberry glaze.
Other than the alfredo lasagna, all of my choices are relatively diet friendly. But I had to have the lasagna after I sampled it (they have dishes prepared for you to try first).
It was a good experience. If the food is good, I will definately go back next month! Plus, it evens out to under 3.00 per serving, which is really nice, too.
