==Menu 2015==
This menu is a blend of the girls' and boys' menus. (There were very few variations between the two. The boys had a chicken and rice stir-fry instead of garlic parmesan chicken. The girls didn't have french toast casserole or kremowki. The girls had macaroni and cheese with the ham instead of potatoes. The boys had Klondike bars and ice cream sandwiches instead of ice cream sundaes.) It's probably our most successful menu so far.


Combine cornmeal and milk, and let it stand for 5 minutes.

Serves 8.


* 8 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
== Notes on the Menu ==
* 8 slices Swiss cheese
In 2015, we cut bagels and english muffins from the menu because toasting slowed down the breakfast line too much. We added more hearty options like hard boiled eggs and oatmeal, which were more popular with the girls than the boys. We also added baked ham to the menu, which provided us with enough leftovers to scramble ham bits with eggs for breakfast. We used leftover tortilla shells from the taco/burrito meal to make breakfast burritos with the eggs and ham.
* 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
* 1/4 cup chicken broth or white wine
* 1 cup herb-seasoned stuffing mix
* 1/4 cup butter


Preheat oven to 350* F.
;N.B. Soft tortilla shells are more versatile than hard taco shells! The hard shells usually go to waste, but leftover soft tortilla shells can be used for breakfast burritos and sandwiches, or even baked and eaten with cream cheese dip.


Arrange the chicken (either whole or chopped into bite-size pieces) in a lightly greased 13x9 baking dish. Top with Swiss cheese slices. Combine the soup and the chicken broth, stir well, and pour it over the chicken. Melt the butter and mix it with the stuffing. Put it on top of the chicken and soup. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes.
At least one meal — typically Thursday lunch — is reserved for leftovers. Since we never know how much food we'll have left over, we usually have some lunchmeat and bread on hand.


==== French Toast Casserole ====
Snacks: The girls like hummus more than boys. The boys eat more snacks in the afternoon than in the morning.
* Cubed bread, enough to cover the dish twice
* Brown sugar
* Cinnamon
* 8 eggs
* 3 cups milk
* 1 tsp vanilla
* 4 tsp white sugar
* 3/4 tsp salt
* Butter


Grease a 13x9 baking dish. Cover the bottom of the dish with brown sugar and cinnamon. Toss in the bread, distribute evenly.
Desserts: The girls have come to expect ice cream sundaes after the Tuesday beach outing. (The boys do not have this tradition.) Since we never know how long Wednesday night Adoration is going to last, we prepare a dessert that is easy to clean up, like brownies or cookies. Same for Thursday. We never know how long the Variety Show will last, so we prepare something easy to clean up. We have s'mores at one or two of the campfires — either Sunday, Monday, or Friday. (S'mores are more popular with the girls.)


In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, white sugar, and salt. Pour over the bread and press the bread down with a fork. Refrigerate overnight.

* 1 cup + 3 tbs butter
* 1 cup + 3 tbs all-purpose flour

Combine the potatoes, celery, onion, ham, and chicken broth in a stockpot. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat until the potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
 
In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour with a fork and cook, stirring constantly until thick, about 1 minute. Slowly stir in milk to prevent lumps. Continue stirring until thick, about 4 to 5 minutes.
 
Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot and cook soup until heated through.

Notes on the Menu

In 2015, we cut bagels and english muffins from the menu because toasting slowed down the breakfast line too much. We added more hearty options like hard boiled eggs and oatmeal, which were more popular with the girls than the boys. We also added baked ham to the menu, which provided us with enough leftovers to scramble ham bits with eggs for breakfast. We used leftover tortilla shells from the taco/burrito meal to make breakfast burritos with the eggs and ham.

N.B. Soft tortilla shells are more versatile than hard taco shells! The hard shells usually go to waste, but leftover soft tortilla shells can be used for breakfast burritos and sandwiches, or even baked and eaten with cream cheese dip.

At least one meal — typically Thursday lunch — is reserved for leftovers. Since we never know how much food we'll have left over, we usually have some lunchmeat and bread on hand.

Snacks: The girls like hummus more than boys. The boys eat more snacks in the afternoon than in the morning.

Desserts: The girls have come to expect ice cream sundaes after the Tuesday beach outing. (The boys do not have this tradition.) Since we never know how long Wednesday night Adoration is going to last, we prepare a dessert that is easy to clean up, like brownies or cookies. Same for Thursday. We never know how long the Variety Show will last, so we prepare something easy to clean up. We have s'mores at one or two of the campfires — either Sunday, Monday, or Friday. (S'mores are more popular with the girls.)

The virtues of a pig bucket. In 2015, we had no pig bucket.

At the boys' Sro-event 2015, we used paper plates for lunch and dinner, and the boys washed the dishes — cups, utensils, and pots — in the Great Kitchen.

Advantages: Pots and platters got washed. Dishwashing was more easily monitored. Dishes could be rinsed before washing and dirty water could be replaced with clean water.
Disadvantages: More trash, a wet kitchen floor, one dishwashing bucket instead of two. Dirty water was dumped in the sinks instead of outside.
