Want dinner delivered to your door? Start a meal co-op, an agreement by two or more households to provide prepared meals for each other according to a schedule. Take turns doubling or tripling the recipe you are making and deliver hearty one-dish meals such as casseroles and pasta dishes ready to eat. The more moms you unite for the co-op, the less time you’ll spend in the kitchen!
