I love to bless people by cooking for them! We recently had friends over, a family of 8 so with our family of 6 it was 14 people to feed. I wanted to keep it fairly easy as I’m quite pregnant at this point! I’ve found making a couple of roast chickens is an excellent way of feeding a crowd, it’s economical and chicken goes with everything! I made 2 rotisserie chickens + gravy in my instant pots the day before and had them shredded so I just had to reheat them. I made an instant pot biryani, a cabbage & cucumber salad, roast potatoes & pumpkin and 2 loaves of homemade sourdough 😋
Turned out great and I kept it just under $50! Here’s my price breakdown, I didn’t include pantry staples like oil, vinegar, spices etc
x2 Whole chickens $28.88
Potatoes $2.60
Pumpkin $2.50
Salad (cabbage, cucumber, spring onions) $6
Sourdough, 2 loaves (homemade) $3
Biryani $6 (rice + veges)
Total $48.98
🥗🍚🥒🍗
We have 4 young boys (with another 👶🏼 on the way), so I’m always cooking and working on ways to make life and food easier without sacrificing flavour!
