Our Saturday date at "My Girlfriend's Kitchen"...

Happy Saturday!!!

Today Chris and I trailblazed our way into a new way of making dinner (at least new for us!) After talking about it for months we finally made an appointment at My Girlfriend's Kitchen to make 12 meals. This week, before we decided to do this, I spent an afternoon looking up the different businesses that offer this kind of service. Here in Utah there is a place called Dream Dinners, and the place that we chose: My Girlfriend's Kitchen. Outside of Utah there's also a place called Super Suppers. My Girlfriend's Kitchen seemed a little more affordable than Dream Dinners and the recipes look great. Because it's just us two we decided to split up most of the meals into smaller portions so we figure we'll have about a month's worth of food. At one point, after I had made a meatloaf in about 5 minutes, I thought about how it would have happened at home....I would have spent 15 minutes looking for some seasoning that we probably didn't have to begin with--cut my finger chopping the onions, dirtied every dish in the kitchen, etc. etc. one hour later I would have finally finished the preparation only to be too hungry to wait for the meatloaf to cook. Don't get me wrong--I love to cook but when your kitchen is the same size as your closet it becomes a little bit more of a chore.
I know this post is sounding like a commercial but I am just so excited! You can't believe the sense of accomplishment that comes from cooking 20 meals in two hours! I do have to confess though, my favorite part was putting everything into little containers and putting stickers on them! Organization is intoxicating! Well, I'd better go...Chris is putting our Cajun shrimp kabobs (yep we made them this morning) on the grill and they smell wonderful! Bon apetit!

Here we are--ready to plug My Girlfriend's Kitchen to the world!
