    Church gatherings bring people together and so often include food for the entire group. Oftentimes a huge buffet of big, tasty dishes that are meant to please kids, adults, seniors often fill the room. Church recipes usually need to be big, shareable portions, multi-flavors, and most importantly be portable. Breaking bread with biscuits and cornbread, fork-twirling spaghetti from the crock pot, and desserts galore will entice everyone to keep eating and enjoying the time together. So get your paper plates ready and pray you don't overstuff them!
