Cooking For A Crowd Everyday

Tahoe Reunion 2000


And that is what you do if you have a large family, 
cook for a crowd everyday. 

Starting dinner in the morning for younger moms allows you to have things like 

homemade bread, scones, pots of beans or slow cooker meals. 
Then at dinner time you know what else has to be done to finish up quickly. 

You aren't going to blow the budget for a fast food deal. 


Back in the day I didn't have money to go fast fooding. 


With seven kids and needing to save as much as possible on food 

because I wanted my kids to take piano, gymnastics, 
dance and play sports, etc.  I would plan for meals 
a month in advance and go to the store just once 
or twice a month. 
(I told you it was back in the day) 

Also my kids loved Susie Sunshine, (the recipe is here)

a hot cereal made with cracked wheat and 
they loved breakfast for dinner with pancakes 
and eggs too so that was an easy 
fix in a pinch.

Love,
Grammy T.
