I'll have 16 total for 5 nights. I've already made and have frozen: sloppy joe meat mix pizza burgers ham balls cheeseburger soup a ham to these main dish items I'll add a salad each day, for the sandwiches a container of potato salad from Sam's Club, chips, and for the ham/ham ball meal I already have twice baked potatoes in the freezer and will add green bean casserole and rolls. I plan to make a frozen dessert and a couple of frozen pies. For breakfast I just provide toast, eggs, cereal, donuts and muffins and everyone is on their own. Lunch might be ham or turkey sandwiches. I got a great deal on the ground beef and ham ball mix and ham. Buy on sale. I like to cook ahead of time as much as I can so I'm not a slave to the kitchen when the company is here. Sounds like you really need to celebrate. I hope your husband is doing better.
