Girl’s Camp 2016 menu
Another Girl’s Camp is just around the corner. Tons of preparation goes into the camp as a whole. My little corner of it is in the kitchen. I’ve added a few new recipes to the menu this year and the budget allowed for 2 days of bacon. The girls will be happy!
I’m sharing my menu with you today and all the recipes. I’ve included everything this year, including how to cook large amounts of scrambled eggs, rice and bacon in case you also need to feed a crowd 🙂 The recipes also have single batch measurements. I have many files to organize and plan as well if anyone is interested. Just let me know!

Treadmill Desk
Posted onA few days ago I overheard a friend talking about a treadmill desk she made herself. She works a lot on the computer and has found this to be a good way to get some exercise in. I was intrigued and began an internet search to see if I could make one for myself. There are a lot of ideas out there. My requirements were that it be functional, inexpensive and removable. I’m not the only one who uses our treadmill, so it needs to be quick and easy to remove and set up. I have a couple volunteer projects I’m working on that require a lot of computer time. Why not get some steps in while I work?

This is Jennifer’s finished quilt. I hope mine turns out just as awesome!

My brain is so full right now, it just may burst. I am cooking for our church girl’s camp again this year. There will be about 135 people to feed on a budget. I do have a kitchen to work in, so most things are going to be made from scratch.
Today’s post is a just a quick one to share the menu I’ve planned as well as the recipes. I have written them up with a single batch and multiplied out to the quantities I use for camp. These are great recipes for family reunions too. Continue reading

One Pot Lemon Chicken Pasta
Lemon and Chicken are one of my favorite flavor combinations. Put that together with the ease of a one pot meal and you have a winner! It comes together quickly and the taste just tickles my tongue 🙂
One Pot Creamy Orzo and Sausage

One Pot and Orzo in the same meal…perfection. Have you tried Orzo pasta? It looks a bit like overgrown rice 🙂 Since it is so small, it cooks pretty quickly.
This recipe combines this lovely little pasta with yummy chicken apple sausage. I love the flavor of this sausage. I have tried some different brands, but I usually buy this one because it is readily available at my local stores.
One Pot Chicken Parmesan Pasta

One Pot Chicken Parmesan Pasta…I can’t tell you how much we like this one. I made it for the first time last week and fell in love. It’s a little different from most one pot meals, but still easy and oh so tasty. The crunchy topping really makes this dish.
