November Exchange/Cooking Taster's Group

Hi!

I would like to host the next Freezer Exchange and do a Cooking Taster's Group. It will be held on Tuesday November 16th, 7pm @ Amy Smith's home. For the cooking portion, I will be teaching how to make a meal/dessert bread braid. You DO NOT have to do the freezer exchange to come. All are welcome! We had such a great time at Mitzi's last month and learned tips from everyone. Please let me know if you are interested in doing the exchange. Hope to see you there!

Chicken Lasagna Rolls

Photo by: Taste of Home

1 small onion, chopped
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 can (14 1/2 oz.) chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
3 cups diced cooked chicken
6 cups frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1 jar (6 1/2 oz.) diced pimientos, drained
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt, optional
12 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained

In a large sauce pan, saute onion in butter until tender. Stir in flour until blended. Gradually add broth and milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in cheese. Pour 1/3 cup each into two greased 8 in. square baking dishes; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup cheese sauce, chicken, broccoli, eggs, bread crumbs, pimientos, parsley and salt. Spread about 1/2 cup over each noodle. Roll up jelly-roll style, beginning with a short side; secure ends with toothpicks.

Place six roll-ups curly end down in each baking dish. Top with the remaining cheese sauce.

Cover and freeze one casserole for up to 3 month. Cover and bake second casserole at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Uncover; bake 5 minutes longer. Discard the toothpicks.

TO USE FROZEN CASSEROLE: Thaw in the refrigerator for 8 hours. Bake as directed.

Serve with salad and bread! A few tips if you want to make this. Cook 2-4 extra lasagna noodles; you will have enough mixture to fill a few extras. Also – if you are doubling it, make sure you have a REALLY big bowl for the mixture. Plan some time to make this. I think just rolling them up took me 30 minutes to make 6 small pans. Hopefully they turn out really yummy!

My sister found this blog for freezer meals.
I haven't tried any of these yet, but I thought you might be interested.
See y'all next tuesday!

Please invite anyone who is interested in the cooking/tasters group! Come and get some new ideas for meals for your family!

October Exchange

Hi Girls!

We took off a while for the summer, anyone up for starting up the exchange again?
I am willing to host, why don't we try for Tues, Oct 19, 7 PM.
Please email me to know if you would like to participate in the Exchange.

Also,I want to try out the "cooking/tasters group", so I might experiment with that if you don't mind. You can come to the cooking group whether you participate in the Freezer Meal exchange or not. It will probably end up being more of a tasters table, where you can ask questions about preparation, enjoy yumminess, and good company:). It will probably end up being less than 45 minutes for the cooking group, if you only want to do the exchange, you don't have to stay for the rest.

I am thinking of doing either Pizza (with a twist of olive oil in place of tomato sauce)--it sounds weird, I know, but it is so yummy... or Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi (fish). Please let me know what your preference is, and I will decide based on interest! Thanks and Have a great day,
Mitzi
