Have you ever been a part of a wedding and spent a good chunk of the day hungry? Not that there isn't good food around, you just don't end up getting to have very much, if any. Well, my daughter got married this past weekend and I figured we needed to make sure we all enjoyed the weekend and didn't get hangry. It was actually very easy and very cheap.
Her reception was on mountain property about 45 minutes from our house. It was at our friend's cabin and so we needed to pretty much take everything up, since it's not an event venue. So we started this journey early Friday afternoon. To help the set-up crew's stamina and morale I had washed and wrapped some potatoes and as soon as we arrived I popped them into the oven. 2 hours later, I pulled out a can of chili and a can of cheese sauce and heated them up, set out sour cream, bacon bits, butter, and salt and some rolls and we had food. It was super worth the time and effort and gave us the energy to finish out the last hour. The next day her wedding was at 8 am and then we had a fantastic luncheon at 11 am, however by the time we got up the mountain again at 2:00 and had set up for another 2 hours we were all hungry again. So at 4:00 I put some pre-made meatballs into the oven. 30 minutes later we opened up a bag of chips, sliced some watermelon, and we were all full and ready for the 3 hour reception and the clean-up after! I would highly recommend this to all doing a wedding.
