Summer Starts - Camp and Holiday Cooking
This week just flew by! I did not cook for personal chef customer this week and that was good timing. I have had some problems with my neck and back so I got to rest those muscles and I feel good today.
The first session of kid's cooking camp starts June 7th so I needed to get all of my camp materials ready so The Cook's Warehouse can make copies and make binders for everyone. I spent a few hours gathering the recipes, making sure they made sense when scaled up or down and finding interesting extra info to include.
This year I have 4 weeks of over age 10 cooking, 2 different sessions and one 4 day session with the 6 to 9 year olds. I have Regional Cooking as the Theme for two sessions and Beach,City,Country Cooking as the theme for 1 session. I got everything done, reviewed and delivered to Cook's Warehouse. So glad that is done!
I also had to find judges since we do a competition for the older kids and sent that email out. I had great response from chef friends and have almost all 4 weeks filled with judges. So glad.
I am leaving for Washington DC on Wednesday to attend the Chefs Move to Schools event at the White House! Very exciting and a good time for a little break before summer camps. I hope to get pictures at the White House and be able to use Facebook while there. Without getting removed by Secret Service.
Since I am leaving for the rest of the week, I am cooking for clients on Monday and Tuesday. Not sure what I'll be making for my dinner on Memorial Day but my Monday clients will be set for meals when they get home Tuesday. My Tuesday client is having a birthday so they asked for Beef Stroganoff for one of the meals.
I need to menu plan for us today. I am thinking about smoked salmon tomorrow, tonight we're having steaks on the grill and some bread that looks good. Hopefully it will be and I'll get pictures. Sunday we're invited to a friend's for dinner. Not much planning to do!
I might need to do 2 weeks of planning and check out my freezer meals since camp is fun but a little tiring. I know I have chicken soup, stuffed pizza, chicken curry and spaghetti sauce. Yes I do love my freezer.
Okay going to call my friend about Sunday and get my planning done. Then maybe the pool? Or maybe knitting!
