| When you have another family(ies) over what is your favorite meal to make? Something adults, young kids, and teens will all be pleased with |
| Roast chicken & potatoes. Side of broccoli. Or spaghetti with meatballs & a salad. |
| burgers/hot dogs, taco bar, baked ziti |
|
We like to grill, we usually do either hot dogs or hamburgers, and something more exciting like chicken with tandoori flavors or fish.
If we're indoors some things that appeal to the masses: Baked ravioli (like lazy person's lasagna) Chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese sandwiches Taco soup and quesadillas Salmon and risotto Baked macaroni and cheese |
| Burrito bowls, in addition to what's already been mentioned |
| Chicken pasta with a white cream sauce. The youngest can pick out the veggies they don't like. |
| Lasagna, salad, garlic bread.... its a great make-ahead meal that most people like. |
| Barefoot contessa’s vodka sauce with rigatoni. |
| Ham, biscuits, instant pot macaroni and cheese, a really good green salad |
|
Make your own taco bar - just put all the fixings in bowls and let each assemble their own
And surprisingly salmon - we've had several impromptu dinner guests (pre covid), and everyone ate grilled salmon. |
| Tacos fajitas with h kin and actual steak not ground meat |
|
Pulled pork, coleslaw, broccoli salad, Mac n cheese
Shrimp kabobs and sides |
Similar. I’ll use a chicken sausage and maybe a Parma Rosa sauce and keep some pasta plain. |
| Brunch — easy to do a choose-your-own adventure version with little or no last-minute work for the cook (frittata or quiche, bacon, fried potatoes, bagels, muffins/croissants/ scones, fruit) |
Skip the vodka, it’s still good without it. How can it not? With all that cream. |
