My ds is turning 14 and I'm going to have four teenage boys to feed this weekend, for Friday night and all day Saturday. What am I gonna do? lol I'll probably end up spending to much and getting pizza and donuts for two meals, but that still leaves another meal to plan. Not to mention snacks. :juggle: Someone inspire me!

Why not make homemade pizza? We do this a lot when DH's "little" brother comes over. He's almost 15 and nearly 6 ft tall and growing like a weed. They can pile on the extra cheese or pepperoni if they want. We just make the dough in our bread machine.

For another easy "buffet" style meal we do soft tacos with tortillas, meat, refried beans, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, salsa and maybe some chile con queso dip and chips.

Or you could buy deli meats and cheeses and let them build huge sandwiches on deli rolls.

Good luck! lol

I would say make homemade pizza too.
Angela had some good ideas too.

For snacks I would say store brand snacks, just put them in a bowl before they see them and they will never know.

Spagetti or lasagna is an easy one too.

Grilled cheese

tuna fish

old standy by--pb&j

The big suckers are less than .50 a pound in a big bag at Costco.

Hummus- it's cheap.

Barley salad, but would they hoover it? my kids like it so/ so.

Spaghetti and meatballs- half bread, y'know? Green beans, salad, bread, One big meatball per kid. Steamed carrots.

baked potato bar is a good idea

Tortilla soup, since they gunk up the soup themselves.

quesadillas, homemade salsa

homemade popcorn.

nak again

but a crockpot of chilli (bean,meat,tvp or whatever) would stretch those potatoes a good bit.

You could have a "man party" where you make baked potatoes, steak, salad with provalone and salami, etc, and you serve them at the table.

I know a friends dh liked that but he was turning 28... lol... what ever your ds likes and then some "manly" sides sound good. My friend made grilled Salmon Steaks, and butter lettuce salad with chunks of salami in them. Erik loved it. :D
