This week is a little out of the ordinary because we are going to have both sides of the family at the house for most of the week so I am planning a menu to serve between 3 and 9 people any day of the week because they are both horrible at planning and I don't know who will be here when. 

I am also planning lunch and dinner and making a bunch of things for breakfast so that people can help themselves.  This helps me from going into a panic when I have 9 people looking to me for lunch.  My husband suggests that I tell them to figure it out themselves but I just can't do it.  First line it lunch and second line is dinner.  On Christmas day, we are going to do a brunch in the morning since we will be doing presents and then dinner early.  I am planning on leftovers as the crowd thins so hopefully we will have enough room in the fridge to fit everything that we want to do for the week but I am trying to at least most of the lunches in the crock pot to make it a little easier for everyone's schedules (especially my own).

I hope that you have a plan if you are having out of town guests.  I know that it makes my life a little less stressful at this time of year which is always helpful.  The back up plan is Chinese food and/or Little Caesars pizza which will both easily serve the whole family without me lifting a finger.  I always need an emergency back up plan.  How about you??
