Best cheap healthy meals for a crowd?
I'll have four extra kiddos here for three weeks! I need to be careful not to spend too much although I know I'll be spending more. There will be 9 of us.
My main meals need to be wheat free and milk free. One of my kids doesn't like beans, so I don't want to do too many meals with beans as the protein, but I'll do some and he can have an alternative if he wants.

Re: Best cheap healthy meals for a crowd?
Rice is cheap. Stir try veggies and add a tiny bit of protein-chicken, tofu or cashews? Add in a curry sauce? We do this a lot.
Beans and rice. Baked potatoe bar. Chicken and rice casserole made with coconut milk. Vegetable soups made in crockpot. I'll continue to think on this

Re: Best cheap healthy meals for a crowd?
Great! I would love a recipe or an idea of how to make a chicken and rice casserole with coconut milk. My life has been bereft of casseroles since my firstborn's milk allergy presented itself.

Re: Best cheap healthy meals for a crowd?
I would just substitute coconut milk and follow the recipe otherwise. I do that a lot with recipes.

Re: Best cheap healthy meals for a crowd?
I had great ideas until you said wheat and dairy free. Then my brain froze.
Rice... potatoes... shepherds pie?... green bean casserole... soups!
