As we’ve provided for the previous 21 years, at the very end of July, we took a trip to Bull Shoals Lake near Mountain Home, Arkansas for our yearly prolonged household holiday at the lake with my side of the household.
We all remain in little private cabins, however then we consume our meals entirely and invest a great deal of time together in the bigger home that my moms and dads remain in.
During the week, we invest a great deal of time water-skiing, boating, tubing, swimming, and hanging out. And, obviously, we consume a great deal of scrumptious meals.
In order to feed 31 individuals without it being excessive work, we have low-cost and easy meals that work well for a big group and all of us pitch in and assist with bringing and making the food.
My sis prepares the menu with simple meals that would feed a crowd and sends a sign-up type utilizing Perfect Potluck (it’s totally free therefore simple to utilize!). Each household register for the main courses and side meals they wished to supervise of.
Whatever meals or parts of meals you register for, you are accountable for bringing the components for and cooking/baking.
