The GV is booked! Now to plan! Questions....

[quandrea]

I just booked a GV at Kidani for a week next June. My family of five and my best friend and her two girls. I am beyond excited!

Way too early to grocery shop, but I’m starting to think about meals because it’s fun. Any ideas for easy meals for a large group and suggestions on what to get in for breakfasts, snacks, drinks, etc?

I have a vegetarian in the group and a nut allergy.

We plan to eat in all breakfasts and at least one meal a day, if not more.

I love to cook and bake, but am obviously limited by the kitchen provided.

A big thank you to everyone.

 

[Best Aunt]

I can’t link but there is a thread on this board about buying a Mickey waffle maker. If you are planning to do all breakfasts in your room that might be fun.

I could actually have it shipped and then keep it in the owners locker.

Thank you for this! The disposable cups and plates are a great idea. You have a massive amount of drinks, but when I think about it, a big group in the summer will drink a massive amount of fluid.

A one meal such as:
Soup
Stew
Lazagna
can be made, served, and reheated for multiple meals and your not having to spend a lot of time in the kitchen.

I’ll have to look for some good soup recipes. Lasagna is a nonstarter with dd. She calls it pasta cake. I will do pasta with meat sauce though. Thanks for your feedback.
