The menu this week is Rotini Pasta with Meatsauce, Salad Bar, Garlic Bread and Black Forest Cake.
Last week we served sloppy joes, french fries, salad and rice krispie treats. We had lots of good helpers from confirmation groups. If you have a group that would like to help serve or scrape dirty dishes, check with Karla or Cassie by calling the church office or catch them in the dining room or kitchen on a Wednesday night.

You all are an inspiration! Hospitality and welcome is so important! Sharing all the parts of a giant meal is actually pretty radical!

Here’s a post from 2014 with the Sloppy Joe recipe that we use: https://thenewchurchsupper.com/2014/04/19/calvarys-kitchen-sloppy-joe-recipe/
When we have a pasta dinner, we always boil the pasta the day before. We stop cooking it when it’s still a little chewy, then rinse in cold water and toss with a little olive oil to prevent sticking, then refrigerate. The day of the meal we boil the pasta for 2-3 minutes to finish cooking it, and we cook it throughout the meal service so it doesn’t sit out too long.

Karen I look forward to your posts! I found you a couple years ago because I was looking for recipes for a crowd but not quite as large as you do.( 50 for Royal Family Kids Camp) Since I found you, I have become the kitchen manager for a church. I feed aprox 300 to 350 each week. (Wed dinner and Sunday mornings).Although I don’t have the man power or resources for some of your recipes I have found your blog inspiring. Thank you so much for your posts!
