Thanks to all those that participated this last month. It was nice to have more than just 3 people exchanging. I love the variety that lots of people bring to the meal exchange.

I would love feedback on food quantities.  I feel like my recipes have either made more than I expected or much less.  I don't want to be stingy so let me know how you think my recipes have worked out for your family.  Thanks!
