The Inexpensive Way to Feed a Crowd For an Entire Weekend

Bust out a notebook and/or a laptop and start writing down what is needed. I start by organizing myself by writing down all of the meals needed plus what I'd like to cook along with the drinks to pair. From there, I start creating a shopping list, doubling or tripling recipes as needed to feed the crowd.

1. Friday dinner: pot-pie soup with pie-crust crackers, simple green salad, wine
2. Saturday breakfast: scrambled eggs, toast, bacon, fresh fruit, mimosas, Bloody Mary bar
3. Saturday lunch: cheese plate, wine and Champagne
4. Saturday dinner: chips and queso dip, chicken tacos, margaritas
5. Sunday breakfast: baked french toast casserole with Greek yogurt and fruit
