Food

So, when I originally talked to mom, she said that each family should take a day and be in charge of food. I didn't know if that meant ALL day or just dinner.

Here's an idea:

Breakfast: Why don't we buy a bunch of cereal at Sam's Club (variety of course), maybe some eggs, lots of milk, orange juice, and yogurt.
Lunch: Buy several loaves of bread, deli sliced meat, cheese, mayo, mustard, etc. for sandwiches. Maybe some tortillas (for quesadillas, etc)
Dinner: Each family is given a day to be in charge. They must provide enough food for everyone. (If there is a grill..that would be awesome.) Doesn't have to be too much or too detailed, but think about the kids and adults. I already know what we are going to make...pretty easy, simple, and is ready in just a few minutes! (dinnertime quesadillas) Livi like this and since Spencer doesn't like anything... we just give him the Chicken off it.

I think that the days we are traveling to/from the cabin and when we are at the Dells could be days we just eat out on our own. What do you all think? (So, Saturday the 16th, Saturday the 23rd and whatever day we go to the Dells we'll get our own food or go out to eat together.)

Also, what if we do the days in order (or we can pick out of a hat ;)

Sunday: ??
Monday: Andru & Marilee
Tuesday: Jarrett & Tori
Wednesday: Katie & Luke
Thursday: Kiera & Josh
Friday: Pizza (or this day can be switched whatever day we go to the Dells)

Let me know what you think...just throwing things out here...

Other easy food ideas:
-Foil Dinners
-Hamburgers/Hotdogs
-I love salads...so Grilled Chicken Salads, Chopper Salad, Oriental Chinese Salad (I'm sure I'll be making a bunch of these!!! Yummy!)

I think this sounds fun!


Here's to dad...(per his request "Some red & gold wouldn't hurt on this blog!) This is the best I can do right now...I don't have my normal computer.
