Is making dinner making you crazy? If so, I might have the perfect solution. Hi, I’m Lysa TerKeurst for Proverbs 31 Ministries. Recently I was exhausted from my kids complaining over my mystery casseroles – you know the ones topped with cheese and stale crackers from the pantry, so a friend introduced me to a cooking co-op. Not only has it saved me time in preparation, but it’s also decreased our monthly grocery bill and allowed me to offer a variety of meals to my family, which makes them very happy. Here’s how it works:
· Groups of three to five families form a co-op.
· Each night of the week one family provides a complete dinner for the other families and in turn receives meals the rest of the week.
· Each meal consists of a main entree and two side dishes.
· Co-op cooks meet quarterly to plan menus, weekly schedules and delivery times.
Work out what’s best for you and the other families and happy eating! For more ideas, visit Proverbs 31 Ministries at Proverbs31.org.

Lysa,
I was so excited to see your blog on supper swapping (also called co-op cooking.)
I am not sure if you remember me, but we met in Orlando last fall at the MOPS International Conference when we were both there as speakers.
The column that Proverbs 31 published in 2005 (that your blog links to) is now a BOOK called The Great American Supper Swap - Solving the Busy Woman's Family Dinnertime Dilemma. (David C. Cook)
I would love to send you a free copy of my book, and possibly submit an updated column to Proverbs 31, if you are interested.
Or send you a blog tour or interview, if you like.
I have been a supper swap mom for 5years, with different girlfriends over the years, and can't imagine my life without it!
It is such a blessing to busy mom's to share the load with their girlfriends, and the blessings abound when we do just that!
Blessings - Trish Berg
