MEET THE MASON POTLUCK MOMS! We are two groups of moms from Mason, Ohio that decided it was better to share food with others than make meals every night for our families. The blog is being used by two groups of moms that trade meals monthly or bi-weekly. We each make a meal times four and trade so we cook once and have four nights of meals to serve our family. Hope you enjoy our recipes.
