I’ve been getting lots of questions on how we feed our big family at our family reunion so I thought I’d write up a post to help answer some questions. There’s 7 kids in my family so each family is in charge of one meal (lunches and dinners) for everyone, then you’re on your own for breakfast (except the last day where Grandpa and Grandma take over). These are some of the meals that we had this reunion.

-Costa Vida – Ordered from the restaurant.

-J Dawgs – they offered an assortment of hotdogs (large polish and beef from Costco), hoagie buns, pickles cut the long way, and the yummy sauce from the restaurant J Dawgs.

-White Chicken Chili – Here’s a recipe similar to the one we had.

-Hawaiian Sliders – I like to use the King’s Hawaiian recipe.

-Idaho Nachos – Nacho toppings over french fries.

-Chicken Salad sandwiches – with veggie cups and watermelon on the side. Chicken salad sandwich recipe.

–Basil and Bloom Pizza – If you’re local this was so delicious and they did a fantastic job.

Last year we had similar meals.

-Tacos – with an assortment of tortillas.

-Sandwiches – ordered from the grocery store.

-J-dawgs – always a crowd favorite.

-American style nachos – chili, lettuce, chips, tomatoes, olives, cheese – you get the idea.

-Pizza – never disappoints.

-Pulled Pork Sandwiches – a similar recipe here.

I also put together an assortment of our most used/most loved items that help make our reunions run a little smoother.

1. Shade tent, this one has a easy pop-up feature and weighted bags to keep it from blowing away. No need to throw shade 😏.
2. Crossnet is a great game to keep everyone entertained.
3. These trays are so handy, my sister always brings a bunch up and it makes it much easier for everyone to transport their food at meal time.
4. You can’t have enough coolers at a reunion there is never enough room in the fridge for everybody’s stuff. Loved the colors of this one and the wheels.
5. Spikeball, another family favorite.
6. Geometry beach towels are the best towels for travel, they fold up nice and compact and they dry quickly so they can be used over and over. FULLMHOUSE gets you 15% off
7. A megaphone, with a crowd this thing is a lifesaver. Coach Cabe can’t get enough of it.
8. This year we did customized water bottles from Ludabottles for everyone, it made such a great keepsake and was easy to keep track of since everyone’s names were engraved on them. Use code FULLMHOUSE for 15% off
9. A griddle is a necessity for cooking for a crowd.
10. The women loved their ludabottles, such pretty colors. Check out the fun smiley face designs and Cabe’s designs on their site.
11. And a sports cooler so everyone has a place to refill their bottles.

I hope that helps answer all of your questions, if you need a refresher I have all of our reunion moments saved in a highlight bubble on my instagram here and our amazon reunion favorites list is here.
