Thanks for all the great ideas about ways to cook for kids at camp! I wasn't sure if I was going to make it that 1st week but by the 4th week I had it down. They even asked me if I would come back in December to cook for a retreat. I am hoping for next years camp they go back to having two cooks...
Him Cerise, the pork chops were frozen . They were brought to me at noon for the 5:00 dinner frozen. I had to do some fast thawing to get them ready for supper. Did I mention I was a little stressed? Haha . Tonight I did the shake and bake thing and they turned out pretty good. A few got a...
It's been easier the last couple of days since I now have more help. Last week was a little stressful since I was working mostly by myself. This is my 3rd year working at this camp and I do enjoy it. The last couple years I was just assistant cook but this year the other cook retired and due to...
Hey Greg I'm cooking at at a church camp the month of June. I work as a cook at school so I'm used to fixing large amounts but we use mostly prepared food. Also I have more to work with. I have volunteers who are in and out to help with some of the cooking. Mostly it's just me though.
The kids come in on Monday morning and stay through Saturday morning so I'm cooking 3 meals a day for them plus getting their evening snack. The menu is already made up and the food is already bought. I'm kinda limited on ways to fix the food.
Thanks everyone for the great ideas! Wish I could be on here more but I'm working at a camp in the middle of nowhere from 6:30am to 8:00pm and no Internet. I like the beer one Craig! It would work for me but I would prob get fired haha. I'm getting through breakfast and lunch pretty good . It's...
I tried lightly browning and putting in a large roaster but they were a little soggy and the ones on the bottom fell apart when I tried to serve them. Also what would be good for seasoning them? Thanks!
Wow 150-200 rolls at a time! I would love to see your recipe and how you go about making that many! Ree Drummond's rolls do look delicious! But i need larger single rolls that would fill the kids up being that is their only breakfast on Saturday morning. I wish I could change the menu! A couple...
Thanks, I did watch the video. I got up at 4 this morning to make them and barely had them done by 8:00! Wish there was an easier way but there's not enough refrigerator room for 80 rolls to rise overnight.
Im working as a cook at a church camp this month and they want home-made cinnamon rolls for breakfast on Saturday mornings. My first attempt this morning they rose really really well and looked good but the bottoms turned out too dark and hard and the tops were still pretty white. I have two big...
