How do you deal with Friday night football feeding challenges?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
With high school football starting, many of us will find ourselves sitting on the stadium sidelines cheering our local team on upcoming Friday nights.
For most families, getting to the stadium in time for kick-off requires a quick turnaround as parents fight Friday night traffic from work and kids return late from after-school activities. And to top it all off, there’s that pesky issue of how to get everyone fed.
After reading the responses to my last blog which looked at favorite fast food destinations I began wondering. When you head out to an evening sports event with your family do you plan on eating before you go or do you plan on making a “drive-though detour” to pick up something.
It takes a pretty organized person to have food ready to go when there’s barely an hour to spare. But, since most families plan their football outings in advance theoretically you have several days to think about it, which is as we know, very different than actually getting it done.
When you have to eat in a jiffy, what are your make-ahead strategies to get your family fed and out the door quickly. Or, is that too much of a challenge to even contemplate?
