Friday p.m. - Grilled bratwursts and hot dogs, variety of chips and dip, grilled banana boats (slice a banana open lengthwise, but leave it in it's peel...add chunks of chocolate and marshmallows, wrap in foil and grill until the chocolate and marshmallows melt.)
Personally, I didn't care for these. I thought the peel gave off an unpleasant flavor and I don't really like marshmallows. Next time, I'll use non-stick foil and just chocolate, but then I'll sprinkle it all with peanuts once it's melted.
Saturday a.m. - I had some breakfast enchiladas I'd made previously and frozen. We warmed these in the microwave and ate them along with coffee and/or chocolate milk.
Saturday midday - We enjoyed serve-yourself platters of cold cuts, cheeses, chips, crackers, dips and fruit.
Saturday p.m. - Grilled pork chops, cowboy potatoes and corn on the cob.
Sunday a.m. - Because we knew we'd have a large midday meal, we just ate buttered toast for breakfast.
Sunday midday - My dad joined us and we ate foil dinners (ground pork patties, potato slices and baby carrots cooked in foil packets with butter that had been seasoned with onion soup mix), green beans and pound cake topped with strawberries and half-and-half.
Sunday p.m. - Round two of the meat, cheese and veggie platters.
Monday a.m. - I had made a cobbler of blueberry pie filling topped with lemon cake (recipe below) for our Sunday meal, but my dad brought the strawberry dessert instead, so we ate the blueberry cobbler for breakfast with our coffee and milk.
Monday midday - after a stressful drive home in a thunderstorm we stopped for gas at a Flying J truck stop and decided to eat lunch at the Denny's there.
