Gladden Farms Park Play Date

The cooler weather is finally here (kind of) and it's a perfect time to start up Friday play dates at the Gladden Farms park.
I have talked with a few moms and since school starts earlier this year some will be making their way to the park around 8:30-9am.
All are welcome, and at any time so please stop by!

Bulk Chicken!

I have purchased from this company, and they are awesome! Their chicken is all natural, no growth hormones etc... and the chicken breasts are still huge! The only catch is... it comes in a 40 pound case. (the chicken breasts are cold, fresh and not yet frozen!)

Last time I ordered, I canned it all and it turned out amazing! -but many others froze theirs... and some even split a case. I know some of you have asked,  so sign up on their email list for more info! www.zayconfoods.com  -and here is the email I received:

Bunco

Want to join our bunco group?  We have 7 players so far and we're looking for a few other mothers who want to join us one night a month.  It only costs $5 to play and that pays for the prizes.  Players take turns hosting bunco at their home, providing dinner and snacks.  Not sure of the day yet, but maybe the 2nd Thursday of each month at 7pm, for example.  If you're interested in playing with us contact Shanna  chefshanna@live.com

Freezing portion Ideas
This particular ideas is for meat, but could be used for juice and liquids if you froze them with the skewers laying on top, and something heavy on top.
