MOMS Club Meal Exchange
I started out by stocking my freezer with some of our favorites - homemade pizza dough, gumbo, and meatball sliders. But I was immediately excited when introduced to the concept of a "Supper Club". After a year of this prior to our move to PA, I'm excited to continue this with new friends as part of the MOMS Club of Derry Township.
1) Each member will choose 1 meal to make and will email their recipe to the Chair Mom or post it to the blog prior to our Meetup. This will help other moms to find the directions for preheating, make the meal later if it's one they really enjoyed, and create a database of meals to choose from.
2) Each member will prepare their selected recipe for 6 families (with a generous 4 servings each). One of these you will keep for your own family and you will bring 4 others to exchange.
3) Please freeze for at least 24 hours. Write all cooking instructions on the meal packaging. If there are pantry staples (i.e. rice, noodles, buns) needed to complete the meal, please provide these as well.
4) The meals will be exchanged each month via a brief play date. Kids are welcome! If you'd like to participate and can't attend, feel free to still RSVP and arrange to bring your meals to the Chair Mom before the date of exchange. I can store your meals until you are able to come pick them up from me.
5) Provide feedback on the meals! You can do that via email to the Chair Mom or on the blog. Everyone has different preferences and we want to build a "bank" of recipes that all of our little families enjoy!
You can also post any recipe ideas you want to share with the group to the blog at anytime to help generate ideas.
Only 2 restrictions for our group:
- Use healthy substitutes when possible (i.e. fat free dairy products, half and half instead of whipping cream, lean ground beef).
- No major dietary preferences or restrictions for your family (i.e. No onions is a fair request; Gluten free is not).

February Meals - White Chili
Serve with: cheddar cheese, scallions, cilantro, jalapenos, tortilla chips.
NOTE – if it appears too thick once you defrost and heat this up on the stove over low heat – add a little bit of chicken broth at a time until it gets to a consistency that you prefer (thin like soup or thicker like chili).
Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 1.5 hours
Makes 8 servings
2 pounds ground turkey – or chicken (use rotisserie chicken pulled off the carcass)
¾ tsp black pepper
2 TBSP olive oil
2 large white onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves chopped (I just put them through the garlic press)
1 TBSP ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
2 (4 oz) chopped green chilies, rinsed
4 (15 oz) cans white beans, rinsed (I used an assortment)
4 cups low sodium chicken brother (I ended up using more like 5 cups – and you potentially want more on hand if you want a thinner consistency)
½ cup 2% milk
1 TBSP fine corn meal
Heat a 5.5 – 6 quart pot over medium heat. Add turkey & pepper – cook until brown. Transfer to a bowl.
Heat oil in the same pot over medium heat. Add onion & garlic – cook until soft (approx 10 min). Stir in chilies, cumin, oregano & cook 1 minute. Add turkey, beans, and broth. Cook (covered) 1 hour on low.
Whisk cornmeal into the milk (I did this in the measure cup). Add to the chili.
Serve immediately.
