I think I have the menu figured out for this weekend. It wasn't easy since the kids don't like "adult" food (except when I only make enough of something for the adults and then they love it). Greg's on the South Beach diet (low carbs, no breads). And the guests have various issues of their own and even worse, I've forgotten what some of their issues are... Does Steven dislike tomatoes? Do Erin and Ian like mushrooms? Sarah has problems with sandwiches. Beef hates me. And then there's Tommy who hardly eats anything so I tend to ignore him. As long as I have Pepsi in the fridge, he'll survive. And Steven prefers Dr. Pepper, Sarah bottled water, Erin Mountain Dew, Ian Mello Yello. We won't even get into the breakfast teas...
Plus I'm not much of a cook. I lucked into having a fabulous Martha Stewart-like mother-in-law so I've learned to borrow all her recipes and pretend. Any meal you had here and left thinking I was a great cook, it was all a hoax. The kids and I eat raman noodles and bologna sandwiches when no one is looking.
After an hour of indecision:
Saturday
Breakfast: Company Breakfast Casserole (MIL's recipe)
Lunch: hot dogs, hamburgers, baked beans, jello salad (from the deli), salad
Snack: chili/salsa/cheese dip with corn chips
Dinner: grilled chicken with Montreal seasoning, asparagus, noodles (store bought mix), salad
Dessert: chocolate cheesecake (thank you, Roni!) and strawberries for the kids
Sunday
Breakfast: crescent roll breakfast bread (friend's recipe)
Lunch: lunch meat sandwiches (Sarah will just have to suffer *wink*), french fries, salad
Snack: watermelon
Dinner: stir fry chicken and veggies with brown rice
I haven't killed anybody yet... *crosses fingers*
