I met with the neighborhood association last night. I brought in crockpots of Lasagna, chicken stuffing casserole, and rice pudding. It must have gone over okay, they voted to go forward with the project!
The goal is to have the program go eight weeks. We will have a group dinner the first and last week, with six drop-off meals.
There are senior apartments in the neighborhood, so we may also do a series on cooking for one. This would be an opportunity to connect with people who have lost spouses and find it difficult to make meals.
My job over the next few weeks will be to figure out the dinners and put together a budget. So far I am looking at: chicken stuffing casserole, lasagna, ham and scalloped potatoes, meatloaf, stew, and stroganoff.
If nothing else, at least I will be eating well as I do my "research"!
