LisaKinVA Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I started this week officially on Tuesday, advertised on Wednesday, and I have baked, sold & delivered: 24 biscuit sandwiches (only because a friend asked -- normally, I would never do 2 different breakfasts in one day). 16 dozen cinnamon rolls. Next week, I have on-order: 180 Chick-fil-A style Chicken Biscuits (one delivery each to the 3 bases). The following week, I already have on order (I have an unusual two weeks, because there are going to be 300 people sequestered on the base with dinner options of pizza and subway, and virtually no breakfast option -- normally, I wouldn't take on this much in a week): 24 dozen cinnamon rolls 100 Breakfast Burritos 100 Chick-fil-A style Chicken Biscuits 150 servings of pulled pork 100 servings of Teriyaki Chicken with spring rolls, glazed veggies and steamed rice The first two weeks are going to help offset costs for a Bus Trip for some of the swim families (it's not an official Team bus, or I would have been able to do one Burrito Sale in 5 hours and get the thing done...but that couldn't happen this time). Starting with the 3rd Biscuit order next week, the profits stay with the family to help us cover some summer expenses. 2 Swim Camps for the two oldest kids, Summer Seminar for the oldest (if he gets in). Summer League for the kids. Some sight-seeing on our 2 week college (and family vacation). Hopefully, it will be this easy to re-build when we return in August! Our goal this fall is $500 a week (net), which will mean 1 or 2 breakfasts and 1 or 2 lunches or dinners. I'll probably offer Cinnamon Rolls just once or twice a month. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angie in VA Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) You are amazing! I am a slug! I hope the team or some of the parents help you in some way (donating food or $ for the food, and help you in selling). Your children are blessed. Edited for clarity. At least, I live in hope.

I have had two parents set up large orders at two bases. And, another is coming today to help me bake (which is going to be weird for me...ha!), and several others have purchased and made referrals. We'll do nearly $1,000 in 2 weeks, which isn't bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatherwith4 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I am kind of jealous of these people who are getting to eat this yummy food. :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) I'm feeling pretty ashamed that last night I barely pulled together dinner for three. Lisa, you rock! Edited January 26, 2017 by Annie G 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasider Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Wow, at that rate you will hit your $5K goal pretty quickly! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjffkj Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I'm feeling pretty ashamed that last night I barely pulled together dinner for three. Lisa, you rock! Don't feel ashamed. I'm sure if you were being paid well to cook dinner for your family it'd be a whole lot easier. I know it would be for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaKinVA Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Yes, I'm make a lot more food when I'm getting paid for it. My kids are surviving on leftovers and "ugly" cinnamon rolls (we also have baked apple cinnamon oatmeal, about 2 dozen biscuits, and a bunch of pre-made bacon & sausage to eat up ;) I made 8 dozen cinnamon rolls this afternoon. I thought I was done. Then I realized I have a delivery on Saturday. Those can wait. Just going to make 2 dozen and call it good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaKinVA Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Wow, at that rate you will hit your $5K goal pretty quickly! Hopefully in February, yes! Then I think we're going to coast a bit start feeling out our $500 a month goal for the fall -- earn a little extra for school stuff! Yay! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
