Have we done the "what to feed the gang at the beach" thread this season?

Also, a honey baked ham is a great meal for the beach. Can be eaten for dinner then leftovers make good lunches the rest of the time.

What?? That's gross. I'm not eating food made weeks before, then thawed.

Thankfully, we fly, so no one would even think of suggesting this.

Bless your heart.

Bunch a bacon.
Sooooo much bacon. 6 packs every day but not for someone else's kids

This sounds so awful.

I know what thread you're referencing and yes I am judging both of us a little.

DP who doesn’t even get the reference, but I laughed out loud on a hard day. So thank you!

Judge away! If it wasn't a classic it should have been; it was that good. And everyone remembers it! For the PP who doesn't get it, I'll try to find and link here but I'm good at memory and terrible at searches.

Haha I am judging but also laughing- it was hilarious! I am mostly judging myself that I clearly spend enough time on here to remember it. Thanks for following up with the link so I can relive.

My mother-in-law made way too much bacon for our beach trip and on the last day, she brought it to the beach and no joke. It was so freaking good to have the protein on the beach that was easy for kids to hold and just chow.

Never in 1 million years would I make bacon for a beach but…

If someone has put a lot of effort into meals that's a turn-off. It's not important to us. That's not the vacation we've envisioned

This is why we have a personal chef.

BbQ take- out

This is so much easier than everyone makes it out to be.

One person is the designated Costco instacarter. They should be the organizer or older sister of the group. They figure out what everyone needs and they do one big delivery order that gets 90% of what the group will need. They usually already know allergies and specific needs. This is paid for by how the house is broken up.

Someone cuts up a ton of fruit for fruit salad for the kids/whoever wants it and stashes it in the fridge on the first and third day.

Men cook and clean breakfast. They get the assignment but can execute however they see fit.

Lunch is on your own sandwiches or leftovers or whatever from the Costco haul.

Each family unit is responsible for one dinner. From Costco supplies or their own groceries or takeout or whatever.

The sharks agree.
