Don't Stop Believing...Hold On To That Feeling...

I grew up in Chapel Hill, NC - home of the North Carolina Tarheels - March Madness and college basketball are big events! And last nights championship game was spectacular with Duke narrowly defeating the underdog Butler. Both teams exhibited what hours and hours of detailed practice can produce. But how many of those players would have spent the same hours of practice without being part of a team and having a coach that pre-planned the practice time often minute by minute? Samuel Johnson in the 1700's talked about private duties( activities done without anybody watching- duties such as cooking). The reason I am encouraging you to try something new to get dinner on the table is because I have found that unless I am on a cooking team, holding me accountable to dinner delivery, I don't shop and plan my meals. True confession- this week as I took a week off my cooking co-op routine I ended up buying fried chicken, biscuits and french fries for my begging 14 year old, 6 ft. basketball player to the tune of $14.48 - that was an air ball! Take a risk and try something new- the adventure of working together as a family and with friends to put a special ,healthier and more affordable dinner on the table. You've got to believe you can be #1- envision the feeling of a less stressful mealtime!
