I LOVE having people come and stay with us. It gets us out the door and doing fun things. I enjoy the running around, trying to see everything in one week and enjoying the wonderful area where we live.
One of my favorite things about house guests is preparing good food for them to eat. Tasty meals and good friends are two of the best things in life.
However, the two favorite things often conflict. Making good food takes time. Time is short when you're trying to cram in all the adventures possible. So, to help things along I prepare as much a possible before the guests arrive.
Here's the menu plan for one week's visit:
Wednesday Breakfast
scrambled eggs
oatmeal cookie pancakes
fruit

clam chowder
sour dough baguettes
nectarines
