It was our turn again to Bake & Take a meal to our friends. As always, we make double of everything so that when were are finished cooking we have a meal for delivery and one for us. It works out great. Once all the food is ready to go we box it up and take it over however this week I delivered it myself which the hubs dubbed Meals on Heels. Since they live right next door we just walk it over however this week he happened to have another commitment at delivery time so I was on my own, thus the new name Meals on Heels.
The hubs had plenty of time before he had to leave to smoke some chickens which is one of our favorite ways to cook them.
While he was at it he made three so we would have plenty of extra for other meals during the week.
In the meantime, I made a double batch of moms baked beans which are always a winner.
Company potatoes sounded good so a double batch of those were on the menu as well.
Some warm from the oven homemade rolls were baked just before delivery.
And, little containers of homemade strawberry jam and homemade honey butter were tucked in as well. There is nothing better than either one of those slathered in the middle of one of the warm rolls. YUM.
A colorful marinated Corn Salad rounded out the meal.
It is always hard to decide on what to make for dessert but Poppyseed Layer Cake seemed to stand out. It had been awhile since I had made it and since all the ingredients were on hand it seemed like a good choice.
It is usually a three layer cake however this time I switched it up and made a two layer cake to give away and single layer cake for us. It worked out perfect.
There were a lot of delicious dinner leftovers which made the weeks meal planning easy. So, preparing double is actually less work for a lot of gain which is always a good thing!
Happy Saturday!
