Ideas and recipes for your weekend!

Published: Fri, 08/14/20

I think I'm ready?

I've been cooking extra food every day for three weeks, working to get ready to feed our YC men's and women's soccer teams all weekend at a retreat. I just put the final touches on a huge Walmart pick-up order and now I'm sitting here double checking all my lists so I hopefully don't forget to take anything important.

If you want to see what I'm feeding everyone all weekend, you can take a look here. (I've made some adjustments since I originally posted.)

Now I need to make sure I have everything we need to survive a weekend at camp with three little ones. Oy! I think I'll take ALL THE CLOTHES because I'm pretty sure they'll get filthy at least four times every day. :)

How about your weekend?

So that's what we're up to this weekend. In case you'd like some great food ideas to help you get ahead for next week and beyond, I thought I'd share some handy links:

More breakfast ideas:

Because we all need lots of ideas, do we not?!

Make and freeze muffin batter.
Mix up and cook a few pounds of Turkey Sausage. Freeze it in meal-sized portions.
Put together a batch of Whole Wheat Quick Mix.
Make a batch of Grape Nuts Cereal.
Make an Easy Breakfast Casserole or two for the freezer. (I freeze them unbaked.)
Bake some Poptarts, Giant Breakfast Cookies, or Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies for the freezer.
Cook a big batch of Whole Wheat Waffles, allow them to cool, then freeze them so that you can toast them quickly and serve.

Hope your weekend is a great one! I'm looking forward to building relationships with college students!
