Here is my scenario: I have to host a pre wedding dinner for about 20 family, mostly from interstate, who are coming up for a family wedding. There will be 1 person gluten free and 1 vegetarian (I think). It is in two weeks time so it will be a warm night probably.
Normally, I'd do this no worries, but morning sickness is in full swing and so my idea of preparing food is pouring my own milk on the weetbix. No one knows yet about the pregnancy.
So, what I can do that is super easy but doesn't involve too much pre-prepared food as I'm not a fan of bought salads etc. I have had one offer to bring a salad but that's all the help available.
I was thinking red rooster chickens and maybe some super easy salad and bread. Does that sound all right?
Tacos are sooooo easy . The vegetarian can have a salad (maybe get a wrap for them, or buy a mix of hard and soft tacos) and the rest is history.
Everyone has fun making their own tacos, and it is a very social food. You can fry up some mince and some chicken the day before, buy grated cheese, shred your own lettuce, dice tomato, all very easy. Want a hand to prepare the day before? So long as I can bring DD1 to run around my heels, I'm only too happy to dice tomato and shred lettuce... (or whatever it is you end up making).
Easy to cook, easy to make veg and most is gluten free (as long as you buy the spices yourself...not all the jar mixes are, but I was looking for my Mum recently, and there are a lot of gluten free jar mixes...just check carefully).
Need a Super easy dinner for 20.
