I had a lovely weekend and it was capped off by an amazing meeting of the minds with my dinner club friends. Erika, a fabulous friend of mine had the idea to start a club where people share great meals. It came out of us *discussing* (maybe complaining, let's be honest) about how hard it is to cook healthy home cooked meals for one while we are single and living the urban life in the city.
Basically, 6 people are challenged to make a meal with enough portions for the rest of club members and voila- we have lunch for the week! We have focused on cooking healthy and creative meals, and exchange on Sunday evenings to set us up for the week ahead. My favourite part besides getting to know awesome new people is being surprised by what meals we get! This week's deliciousness:
-sweet potato burritos
-lentil stew
-edamame and mixed bean salad
-turkey casserole with mixed beans
-phylo pastry with spinach and goat cheese
-roasted butternut squash, spinach, and ricotta stuffed pasta shells(my creation!)
This one idea has added so much to my life! I highly encourage you to make your own cooking clubs out there! Such a great way to pool resources, eat well, build community and spread positive energy all around.
To my life chick Erika- I love your ability to take action and live out solutions to improve the areas that are not going as well in our lives. Your love and energy has added so much to my life in the city. Thank you for your beautiful friendship!
I woke up to this song today and I send it to you- never ever stop believing.
Hi Jen!
