Feeding Teenage Boys

Last shabbat, my nearly 17 year old had a few friends for shabbat.  I've watched this group of kids grow up, and it's a great pleasure - MUCH NACHAS - to see how they're turning into fine young men.  Fine HUNGRY young men - I'm not big on buying prepared foods, or even using the bakery other than for challot, so I try to be very organized, make shopping lists ahead of time, and getting as much as possible in the freezer.  Fortunately, I don't work Friday afternoons, so it all comes together...

Here's what they had...

Chicken Soup with Noodles

Honey Mustard Chicken

Meatballs in Sauce & Pasta

Spicy Roasted Potatoes, Corn Kugel

Tossed Salad, Stir Fry Broccoli

In Transition

I had almost completely forgotten about this blog, then a miracle happen...  someone found it, read it, made a comment and reminded me -

I had forgotten how much pleasure I'd derived from posting, and had forgetten how much I enjoyed everything I did.

2 1/2 years later, I am a very different person - my appearance, outlook, and habits have changed drastically - all for the better!  But my love of entertaining remains -

So I'm back!
