August 2011 Menu

"It's in the Bag!" is back in business...and getting back into the swing of things. Our first month back went well...only a few minor mishaps with the cooking directions. This month it's back to perfection!!!

Here are all of the details for August.....

If you're looking for a way to reduce a little (or a lot) of stress at dinner time, give "It's in the Bag!" a try! There is no obligation...so why not give it a shot?! I can promise you (along with 20+ other families) that you will LOVE it. As always, a HUGE "thank you" to our faithful friends who keep "It's in the Bag"" going...I don't know where I'd be without my freezer meals.

It's time for August's menu...some new recipes (that I have tested to make sure they're superb) and some oldies (but goodies).

Here is the menu and the rest of the information follows. All meals have a description, cooking method, and approximate cooking time. (Little to NO prep is involved on your part...all of the work is done for you!)

*Burgundy Grilled Steak – a tender flank steak in a red wine marinade (Grill, 20 minutes)

Creamy Chicken Alfredo – chicken breasts slow-cooked in a homemade creamy alfredo sauce…kids are sure to chow down on this one! (Slow Cooker, 4-6 hours)

RSVPs for the month are due THIS FRIDAY, August 5th. The cost for this month is $155. We WILL NOT be offering a party this month. Meals will be ready for pick-up starting Saturday, August 20th. I plan on being home on the 20th and the 21st (minus the time we're at church) for meal pick-up. Please let me know NO LATER than FRIDAY, August 5th, if you are ordering the August meals. (If you cancel your order anytime after the deadline, you are financially responsible for your meals. We will do our best to sell them, but cannot guarantee anything!)
