a simple meal

it used to be simple to think about what we were going to have for dinner. it isn't anymore. for me it is having two small children, for others it might be working long hours or crazy hours, or not being motivated.
we were inspired by some friends to start a supper club. there are many ways to do it, but here's how we do it:
four families, each one making a meal. the meal is split into containers for each family . on sundays at church, we exchange our meals.
sunday night we eagerly look at the feast we will be enjoying during the week.
bingo- four meals and the week has just begun!
our four families prefer to eat whole foods cooked from scratch, organic whenever possible. shelley prefers to eat gluten-free.
we don't want to short order cook for our children, and desire to expand their awareness of different foods and flavors.

the bewitching 4-o'clock hour is not quite so stressful - i know i have homemade chili in the fridge, and the kids can have a little more of my attention!
it is a beautiful thing to have the presence of friends at our table.

this is the place where our four families share the recipes we've made with one another and YOU!
Enjoy!
