Hot Cookin' Mamas

Saturday was our rescheduled date for our Fix it & Forget it cooking. We totally kicked ass on this one. We made:

• Maple Glazed Turkey Breast
• Chicken Divan with cheese and broccoli
• Chicken Cherries Jubilee
• Marinated Pork Tenderloin
  

I had made batches of Tortilla Soup and Pasta Sauce ahead of time, and shared those as well.

M did the numbers when it was all over and it cost us $38 per family. For 12 meals! $38!!! I had a hard time wrapping my brain around that, but there you go. And, K bought an extra ginormous bag of chicken breasts that will take care of two separate recipes for all of us next month. I can't wait to see what it ends up costing.

Here's a recap of what we had this month:

• Pecan Crusted Orange Curry Chicken. Wow. This absolutely blew us away. It needs a little more curry, but that can be arranged. I didn't tell H about the pecans, as he would have refused to eat it, but he LOVED it. Heh.
• Herbed Chicken. Mediocre. Sauvignon Blanc and herbs reduced for the marinade.
  
• Meat Loaf. Beef, turkey, pork in bacon lined mini pans. Phenomenal, especially when you take the loaves out of the pans before you bake them.
  
• Pork Chops and Apples. Meh. Good flavor but the apples needed to be juicier. I have one serving left and will dose it well with apple brandy.
• Pasta Sauce. The old standby.
• Chicken & Dumplings. D's recipe. Killer.
