Large batch recipes for feeding a crowd by Stephanie Longstreth
Dump It In the Crockpot and Thank Me Later Every Thursday night, our house fills up. Our college girls come home — and they bring friends. It started as a simple family dinner and somehow turned into this beautiful, loud, wonderful crowd of hungry college kids piling around our table. I love it so much….
The Make-Ahead Breakfast That Works for Every Kind of Morning French Toast Casserole is one of those recipes I keep on repeat — it works for a slow family weekend morning, it absolutely shines as breakfast for dinner on a busy weeknight, and it shows up the day I need to feed a crowd without…
The Sweet-Savory Dinner My Pickiest Teenager Gave a 10 Out of 10 Pork Fusion Wraps are sweet, savory, a little crunchy, and ready in about 15 minutes once everything is thawed — and my pickiest teenager, Alex, finished the entire pan and gave it a 10 out of 10. That is the highest honor in…
