One of four busy Mom's sharing a rotating dinner co-op in our neighborhood. I'm always on the lookout for recipes that will scale to 16 people economically and without a lot of fuss. I'm pretty good at Italian and I like chilled salads that work as side dishes throughout the week. Preparing fruit for fruit salad with my son on Sunday evenings. Roasting a prime rib on Christmas Day. Thinking I could cook 16 baked potatoes in a crock pot in an hour and a half. I've had much worse, but that's the most recent - happened last week.
