SQFT: RE: yields

As a new to square foot gardening gardener, I have thought of these questions, I'm sure they are kinda dumb, but bear with me, please.

I have gotten a bunch of catalogs, and my eyes are getting really big on what I want to plant.  I understand with sqaure foot, I can experiment and not waste a lot of space.  However, I'm wondering how much to plant to feed my family.  I want to have tomatoes to slice and for sandwiches, but I have to can for the winter too.   Does anyone have any ideas?

How about sweet corn?  I have never grown it, would like to try, but how much do I plant to grow at least 1 meal for a family of 5?

I do know that the overall yield depends on weather, soil conditions, etc., but can someone out there who has been gardning for a long time, or for canning give me some clues?

Thanks for any and all input.

Man, I wish I could get my hands in my garden now.
