yaaaaaankee swap!

Okay, it's really dinner swap {Office, anyone?}. 


We really like good food - who doesn't? And like most of you, we love finishing off a busy day with a nice, hot meal before we curl up with a couple Netflix faves. But cooking for two, {while carting around a small one} can be tricky, tiring and wasteful {hard to use up all that bok choy on two people!}.

After sharing dinner with two foodie friends last week we hatched a plan to have a dinner swap every week or two between three families. Tonight we enjoyed the first meal of dinner swap 1.0.

It's really a win-win situation. It doesn't take much more time, or money to double a recipe and feed six adults and a smattering of kids once a week. And the real homerun of the whole situation is the two nights of kitchen-free tasty dinners!

There are new recipes to be tried, new meals to be enjoyed and new friendships to be strengthened over that great unifier . . . food!


{Thanks for the delicious linguini, Kim. If you're reading maybe you should share the recipe . . . and for the brownies too!}


Thursday night is my night. Any winning ideas? I've got some food-lovers to impress!
