The idea behind The Big Cook is to do all the prep work for a bunch of meals, freeze them, and then have great home cooked options available in the freezer for those days when you need something quick! With amazing recipes like Always a Winner Grilled Chicken, Maple Glazed Salmon, Orangalicious Beef Steak, and Lime Pepper Chicken; mouths in the momstown KW kitchen were watering! Though the prep took a lot longer than expected, we all worked together to prepare one recipe at a time. Once we had one recipe completed we moved on to the next!
Of course to do a Big Cook like this is a big investment in meat and ingredients up front, but it was so worth it and really that money would have been spent on groceries eventually anyway! We all had so much fun, there's nothing quite like cooking with a group of friends, and now we each have 9 prepared meals in our freezers that are marinated and ready to go! Luckily, a local church let us use their kitchen complete with a large island in the middle. Since this Big Cook was such a hit with momstown KW, we're planning to do another. This time featuring our members' own favourite recipes and marinades!

| Where would any momstown mom be without their little helper? Sydney came along and helped mix together rice and sugar, invaluable assistance! ;) |
And of course this is too great an activity for just momstown KW, look at how much fun the other momstown chapters had doing their own Big Cook!
