Yikes. A full pan serves 20, so you will have some of each left. Ham all gone, fruit left over- 20-25 quarts about right- no more than 5 gallons yogurt, and 4 probably enough- 3 pounds honey- some granola left, up to 1/2;

One 5 lb bag grits AP yields about 13¾ cups dry, regular grits OR about 62¾ cups cooked grits and provides about 250 ¼-cup servings cooked grits OR about 125 ½-cup servings cooked grits OR about 84 ¾-cup servings cooked grits. I would do all, and take the leftovers home in loaf pans to chill, slice and fry for "fried grits".

Spinach salad OK, provide a non-meat dressing for any vegetarians. Raspberry vinaigrette?

5-6 pans potatoes will still give you leftovers.

I am SO sorry I did not get this to you sooner. Very tough month here.
