Ok, I have a show next Sunday where the host (a man) wants to have a barbeque with lots of family and people from thier church. This should be a big one...I'm expecting 30+ people. The party starts at 1:00pm but he will be barbequing before that. People will be coming from church and will be hungry so we are going to have them eat as soon as they get thier. I am thinking that I want to bring a recipe(s) all ready made. Any suggestions on what I could bring?? Maybe a dessert?? And what will feed that many people...I will make two recipes if needed but I am traveling more than an hour, so they need to travel well! Thanks in advance for any suggestions...this is my biggest show yet and also a little out of my comfort zone!
