Easy, Delicious, Make-Ahead Large Group Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Menus and Recipes for 3 Full Days

Welcome to EVERYTHING you need to coordinate breakfast, lunch and dinner for 3 full days with minimal cooking and prep facilities for groups of 50 to 400. These menus are designed to feature mostly make in advance recipes which can be assigned out, made and refrigerated or frozen in advance of serving.

These are proven fantastic recipes in batch quantities of 20 – 50. Great for your group activity – or a PERFECT MAKE AHEAD & FREEZE time-saving option for YOUR FAMILY MEALS.

I’ve made these recipes for the church Youth Conference for 325 teens and leaders, Girl’s Camp, church Seminary class, Graduation Party Breakfasts and neighborhood supper clubs. Each of these recipes is fantastic. They are designed to be very easy to prepare and serve – and best of all, you’ll have them begging for seconds! You can use the whole menu, or pick an choose whichever you want for your menu.

They can all be made in advance, keep in the refrigerator or freeze beautifully and are easy to re-heat. They also all hold very well for prep in advance of serving! These combinations were picked because they compliment each other beautifully, taste great together and aren’t all competing for limited heating resources at the same time.

Just click on the name of a menu below to link to a page with your recipe and everything you need. Most recipes can be assigned out to volunteers to make in advance, these are marked with a * below.
