Feeding a Dozen Teenage Boys: My Experience

In summary, when feeding a dozen teenage boys, it is recommended to prepare between 1.5-2 servings per person, making a total of 18-24 servings. Some budget-friendly options include making casseroles or one-pot meals, buying in bulk, and using inexpensive ingredients like pasta, beans, and rice.

My youngest DS will be 14 on Sunday. He had a sleep over last night and I had 10 teenage boys in my house ranging from 13 to 16. Talk about loud bottomless pits lol. For breakfast I made 2 dozen eggs, 2 pounds bacon, 1 pound sausage, pancakes and a family skillet full of potatoes and onions. Not much left after they devoured it. Just wish I could have gotten their moms here as I showed a lot of cookware and SA pieces lol.
 
Wow, that is a lot of food!!!

Send them all home with a catalog!

Great idea!
 
Next sleepover invite the moms over for breakfast before they pick up their kids. Send out an invite and everything. I can't think of anything catchy right now, but I'm sure there are some creative geniuses lurking somewhere. Something like, swing in for breakfast before picking up the monkeys...
Maybe that age they aren't monkeys anymore....my boy is 15 months and he climbs everything...
Then you can make them breakfast and just chat like normal, showing off how simple breakfast is with PC tools.....
