There is a new group meal swapping website called http://www.heyfood.org. Currently me and 30 friends from my neighborhood organize our weekly meal swap. It has been a life saver.

We each feature what food we will bring to the swap online before the swap so we can plan who we want to swap food with at the future food swap. This way we know what food we will be receiving and how many portions we should cook and bring to the swap. Check it out at http://www.heyfood.org.

This is a really great idea! I wish I had some other moms closer to me so we could give this a try. We live so far out that most of my friends' houses are a good 10 to 15 minutes away, and I think that would make us swapping a little more difficult!

I love this idea…it is brilliant. Unfortunately…my hubby has to eat a certain diet and my kids eat way more veggies than anyone I know…I may have to put some more thought into this though and see if I can organize something.

I have not posted as many recipes lately…but we LOVE this chicken chili recipe…

What a good idea to have a meal swap. I wish that I had thought of that when we had a family of kids at home. I wonder if I could get a few of us old folks together to do it. I think it would be fun and a nice change of pace from our normal routine.

Thanks for the recipe. I love German pancakes and fruit. yummy
How is your daughter doing? I hope she is back to normal and doing well.
Have a great week. Hugs, Lura

What an awesome idea!! I've got to find some amazing neighbors/friends to do this with. We just moved about a year ago- - and have not settled just yet... so I am anxious to give this a try in the future. Thank you for the ideas.

Blessings

We used to also do the meal swapping on our street. Our take on it is that we would fix the meals and call/text everyone when it was ready and the other families come with their tupperware containers and pick it up. On really nice nights in the summer we would all eat together at one house and let the kids play. Not only would you have to cook once per week but it really saved money!
