DON"T REFREEZE THAWED CHICKEN!!

I learned this the hard way this week. I was participating in a meal swap with some gals at my church. I had to prepare 9 meals total. After about $60 spent, three trips to the store, and 4 hours or so into preparing, my husband walks up to me and says, "You are not prepared for what I have to tell you." I was like, "huh?" "All of the chicken has to be thrown away. You can't re-freeze thawed chicken," he says... so I immediately followed with, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME???"

I ran to the computer to see what the internet had to say on this matter, and he was right. Each site I found agreed with him. I was pretty angry for the next couple hours. But I relaxed and realized the world wasn't coming down around me. But seriously, WHATEVER! No meal swap for me this time. I'm just too frustrated, don't have the time and don't want to spend the money to start over. Sorry gals! If only I had a recipe card for this one that started with "Don't use frozen chicken breast."

So hopefully you can learn from my mistake...
