Rebates

I have more rebates for Meat. If you spend $15.01 on meat and buy two bags of Kingsford Charcoal (9 lbs or larger) you get $15.00 back. Let me know if you want one.

Trade this Friday

We're trading thsi Friday at 12:30. See you there--I'm totally addicted to the meals so thanks for cooking for me! And Robyn, we made the lime chicken and it was delish.

ALERT. Stephanie is taking a break from the group so only bring 8 to trade on Friday--or if you know of anyone who wants to cook and join. We'll have Marcy back in next month.

Free Recipes & Yummy Chicken

Hi everyone! We are so enjoying all the meals we received on Friday. My husband is so excited about all the BBQ-it is his favorite.

I wanted to let you all know about this free magazine I get that has a lot of great recipe ideas. It is published by Kraft Foods and comes out 4 times a year. A lot of their recipes are very family friendly and could probably be frozen. They also have a lot of great photo's, shopping ideas, and healthy snack ideas. Anyway check it out if you get a second. You can go to kraftfoods.com and just sign up to have it mailed to you-it is called "Food & Family."

I also wanted to post this great summer grilling recipe. It doesn't freeze well, but it is so yummy.
Garlic-Lime Chicken

1/4 cup lime juice

1/4 tsp. ground red pepper
1/3 cup olive oil

1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. cilantro leaves (finely chopped)

1. In a glass dish or a large plastic bag, combine ingredients.
2. Add chicken, turn and coat. Refrigerate 15-20 min.
3. Remove from marinade and grill or broil 5-7 min. per side.
Baste with the leftover marinade during cooking.

The acid from the lime juice will start to cook the outside of the chicken, so you don't need to marinade it more than the suggested time.
I have served this over rice. It is also very good used as the meat for fajitas.

Yummy!

The "indian tacos" as my kids called them, were wonderful. All of us, including kids, enjoyed them. Thanks! -Kim

We had them too and they were great! I served taco soup to my parents for Sunday dinner, Korrin, and the loved it! Thanks for all the food. We are loving everything. I talked to Stephanie and she's in for next month--she just was mixed up about the trade date. Nora

Location Changed!

Next Friday, the 18th, we will be trading meals at Kim Crapo's House (8227S. 5220 W). It's just down the street (north) from mine. Plan on bringing 10 meals to trade. Sign up when you know what your making.

I'm good for next week's trade date. I won't be here but Robyn can open my garage and my food will be in the freezer. Come in and swap away. If anyone needs freezer space you can call me on my cell. 662-9849. I can't wait for these meals. We have loved the food this time around.

Yummy Joes and Fajita Soup

We had the fajita soup this week with unexpected company and it was a hit. Me and my sister want the recipe! I might call you Marianne or if you have a minute could you post it?

So the Lasagna rolls that I did last time is better baked uncovered. I put covered in the directions because I'm paranoid about food drying out but there is plenty of liquid.

I will be out of town the whole week before our swap. If you need freezer space you can bring it by the week before. I'm leaving Monday morning. I also might not be back before 12:30 on Friday, so maybe we could bump the time to around 4:30 or 5:00. D track will be off and it is a Friday, but it's right before dinner and you might score a meal you could just go home and eat. I ask around as well.
