my mother cans peaches every fall… so I make peach cobbler every fall… as well as eat canned peaches for breakfast at least twice a week until they run out… I can remember blanching the peaches, getting the skin off of them, slicing them and putting them in the sugary juice in the canning jars… messy work and I’m grateful she still does it on her own so we can enjoy them…

I take the suppers out in large insulated ‘lunch bags’ basically… I put the hot stuff on the bottom (just in ziploc or glad plastic containers) and then put a hand towel in-between … then add the cold salads, drinks, desserts or breads… buns or garlic breads or breadsticks I always wrap up in foil and put on the top… my three kids help in the packing and delivering of the bags! dirty dishes all get tossed into the dishwasher (generally two loads)… I can freeze meals 0r desserts in containers and just get them out when I’m in a pinch… hope this helps!

Tried your Chicken Penne out on my company in Florida and it was a hit. It may also become Xmas Eve dinner as I can make it ahead saving me time and a big mess to clean up. I am really enjoying your posts and will be making the zuchinni coconut cookies tomorrow.
