Need Recommendations: Cooking for 12 in Florida Keys
I've got a few ideas, but want to know what all you fabulous people think.
The hubs and I get to tag along with his parents on a week long vacation to the Florida Keys. 8 other family members will be there as well. We are staying in a rented house, so there will be a fully functional kitchen, and hopefully a grill.
His parents wouldn't accept any money from us toward the rental, and suggested that instead we either take everyone out to eat or make a meal one night. I'd rather do the cooking option, as we are not flush with cash right now.
So, what would you suggest as a meal for 12 mostly southerners, keeping cost under $175. There will be plenty of seafood other nights, so this is not a requirement. My mother-in-law specifically requested my mango salsa, so that will be one element. I am very good in the kitchen, don't need beginner stuff.
Thanks in advance!
It's not reaching, it's actually quite an elegant solution to a common problem. However, I'd be shocked if several people haven't already been doing this for years and would be surprised it's taken the rest of us this long to figure it out.
Good work Dan, now someone get me some guacamole!!
