Be the Church: Day 2

On Saturday we made all the food for the homebound and sick members of our congregation to whom they were to be delivered on Sunday.  The plan was to make a day of meals: muffins, soup and individual plated meals, all things that that could be frozen.  Then they could be thawed and eaten anytime!

Our menu included chicken tortellini soup (a family favorite!)  We made five batches and portioned it out into containers to freeze.  It was a lot of soup!

We also made meatloaves - 4 to be exact.  Meatloaf is such a good comfort food!

 

The only un-tried recipe was the rice pilaf we made in the crock pot.  We had three crock pots going.  It was wild rice with mushrooms and peppers (we used red and green) and it looked so pretty!  We had to sample it when it was done and it turned out great!  I was so pleased.  I love when food looks pretty AND tastes good!

Then we got the muffin pans ready for Sunday and got a little silly too!

 

I took Alaina's pack and play up to church and put her in the room next to the kitchen.  She slept so well so we got all our work almost done before she woke up.  She was a very good helper in that way!
