There's also this one damndelicious.net/2016/05/08/chicken-potatoes-garlic-parmesan-cream-sauce/ easily add lemon to the sauce when you add the broth+cream. Its rich! There's more like it on this same site.. I love lemon chicken

I need to cook dinner for our crowd one night while we're at the beach this week since we all take turns and I'm drawing a blank on what to make. Cooking for 7 adults and 3 kids. Any suggestions?

I did nachos (or taco salad) for my meal at the beach. I baked pans of chips with cheese on top and had tons of different toppings on the table. It was fun.

Kids pretty much ate chips and cheese while the adults could make big salads.

I love shrimp in the summer since it's so sweet and cooks quickly. So I suggest tossing some shrimp with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and zest, and red pepper flakes (depending on your audience's spice tolerance). Either baking or sautéed. Served with linguine, using the marinade as a sauce. If there's anyone who doesn't like shrimp the linguine serves as a built in alternative.

Pulled pork or chicken in a crock pot? You could do chips like carolyngrace suggested and also have buns/taco shells.

This week's meal plan = winging it.

[periwinkledaydreams]

sammyca winging it is my perpetual meal plan.. I never know what I'm going to do until Im actually doing it

[dmoney]

DH made steaks tonight, tomorrow will be left overs. Wednesday night I am making a pot roast in my new Pressure Cooker and that's all I have for now.

Me three (periwinkledaydreams). I enjoy planning special occasion meals, but not every day. Besides, H would never be on board for that level of predictability,and we share the cooking.

You need to have an alternative for people who are allergic. Shellfish allergy is very common, and I wouldn't be able to eat sauce that had been used to marinate prawns (carrots).
