Wine & Frozen Meals = One Happy Mama!

Today momstown Whitby-Ajax hosted our second Big Cook! Our Moms were very excited to gather for a morning of exchanging meals, adult conversation and wine tasting. This fantastic event was sponsored by Chateau des Charmes.

A few days prior to the event, we decided that rather than prepping the food at our event that we'd prep the meals prior to the event. This way when we got together today we were able to sit back, relax, enjoy wine and allow our little ones to enjoy some play time. 

It was such a nice and welcomed break!

The kids all got to play and bond while we sipped an amazing tasting wine! It couldn't have been any more perfect!

Two of our members were lucky enough to walk away with a bottle of wine from Chateau des Charmes. We had been given one prize pack, but the Moms all wanted to open it up and contest off each bottle. Want your chance to win your own prize from Chateau des Charmes? Check out this great contest over at momstown.ca!

We all walked away from today with so many great meals! Now we comes the task of finding the freezer space to accommodate them!

If you want to join in on our next Big Cook make sure you are registered on the momstown Whitby-Ajax site! Our momstown chapters everywhere are celebrating with their own Big Cooks!

The Big Cook

Yesterday afternoon momstown Whitby-Ajax mamas gathered for a couple of hours for the momstown Big Cook.

Now I'm sure you must be wondering... How does the Big Cook work?  We split in to teams of two. Each participating Mom picked two recipes from The Big Cook cookbook.  Each team member was in charge of preparing two batches of each recipe. When we met yesterday we exchanged the yummy pre-prepped meals. Each Mom walked away with 6 meals.... and now has a fully stocked freezer!

Being that most of our Moms have very young children... this event was such a hit! It's hard going from day-to-day trying to find time to cook a meal. Now we won't have to worry about that for a while.

The momstown Big Cook event has been quite successful amongst many other chapters: momstown Guelph, momstown Burlington, momstown Toronto - Bloorwest, and more! Interested in taking part? Visit momstown.ca to join a chapter nearest you!
