Recommended Posts

Okay I am in the planning stage I manage a small elderly building of 39 units and this year is going to be the biggest attendance I have had in 12 years 28 residents,

 

So with that being said and along with they cut my budget by 100.00

 

I prepare and cook everything myself so I try not to be to fancy

 

Turkey

Ham

Stuffing

Mashed potaotes

sweet potatotes

Corn Cassarole

Greenbean cassarole

from scratch Mac and cheese, ( I have a pan already frozen }

Rolls

Pumpkin pie 2

Apple pie 2

and two other pies

 

What do you think do I need to make something else or what ???

All though this sounds great, but you need to remember the average age here is 70 and I don't want to put any one in a diabetic shock and since I am cooking this we have to think of me LOLOLOLOLOL
