Each year the youth group at our church puts on a Valentine's Day Banquet to raise money for their trip to the Christ in Youth Conference during the summer. This year I eagerly agreed to help!
We met at the church Saturday morning to decorate. They seriously go all out on the decorations. They even have heart shaped salt and pepper shakers! So we spent the morning decorating 20 tables to the nine in Valentine's day decor!
After a short break for lunch, we began cooking. My aunt (mom's sister) was in charge of the dinnner, so it was fun to cook with her and help her out. We served salad to begin with then each person could choose either chicken cordon bleu or finely sliced roast beef with gravy. With the main dish we served texas potatoes (the hashbrown casserole that has a hundred names!), green beans, corn, and homemade dinner rolls. For dessert we made blackberry, apple and peach cobblers that we served with vanilla ice cream.
We cooked it all, and it was the youth's job to serve it all. It works out really well and is a great way for the youth to raise some money. We served 187 people!! It was a long and exhausting day, but totally worth it! I love doing that kind of stuff. Unlike most, it doesn't stress me out, and I enjoy every minute of it!
