Ask the Readers: Make Ahead Recipes

As many of you know, I am the Creative Activities Leader for our MOPS group. Last year, we did two food activities and they were hugely popular. We've decided to add one in last minute this year and I'm planning for next year also, so I need some ideas on what to do. Our budget is $2-3 per person and there are approximately 45 people. Last year we did apple crisp (they could freeze it if not using it that day) and soup in a jar. I'm looking for just about any kind of recipe that can be made cheap and fairly easy. Things we can layer in a jar or a cellophane bag would be perfect for this year. For next year, I'm open to anything.

Feel free to leave a comment or a blog link to any tried and true recipes you have. Thanks!
