I've never done those make and take meal things, but last night a few of my girlfriends from my MOPS group along with Erin and her mom all went to Alicat Kitchens to make some meals. The ladies in my MOPS group were making meals for ourselves, but also making a meal to give to a friend who is going back to work. Even though I hate the kitchen and would rather not be preparing food, Alicat was a very warm and inviting place that made food preparation enjoyable. Things are laid out very clearly and simply which makes your meal preparations easy. The meals are very much homemade with fresh ingredients and homeade sauces which makes them even more delightful. We had such a blast socializing and preparing our meals! We are actually thinking of doing a "girl's night out" every month at Alicat. Who couldn't use a night out with friends and bring meals home to their family?!?!? So for any of you skeptics out there who haven't tried one of these joints I highly recommend Alicat Kitchens.
