I voted 2-3 (which fits the number of mouths who eat table food in our family), but I was tempted to go higher because I grill a lot for company. And to be honest I like cooking for a lot of people!

It's nice to find a cooking web site where big meals are to be found! I know how I'll ever adjust to cooking for only my future husband and I. I could cook for 12 and then have lots of leftovers!lol :D

Usually just myself and my boyfriend. I love to have people over for supper though.

But if you want to say portion size I would say 6-7.4 in our family.2 of them are kids but eat good size portions.

i voted for 8-9. We have a family of 6 so far, but my husband likes leftovers. Though, I don't think we always eat a lot. We fill in the corners with homemade bread and jam.

Our family is only four mouths. We routinely have company over, but usually only one extra couple. Our home isn't really big enough to host a lot of people (not to mention our kitchen table only seats 4).

The only time I cook for more than 6 is when my parents and 2 sisters come over. Then I'm cooking for 8. They're family, so we don't feel bad not having table space for them.

you look so sweet on your picture!!!!!

We cook for 10+ as there are 10 in our family and we always try to have enough for leftovers for another complete meal or at least for a single lunch for hubby or one of us who may be "on the go".

I hate to admit it but I usually make two dinners, DH can't eat any dairy and loves spicy ethnic foods and doesn't eat till around 8 pm, the rest of the family eats at around 5 pm and the toddler usually can't handle the really spicy stuff.

I am cooking for my husband and me but we never just make enough for two. We usually make enough for at least 1-2 lunches for me to take to work. This week, though, we made our favorite vegan split pea soup, which serves probably 8-10; I freeze the leftovers for future lunches.

I cook for 7 but always cook extra (you never know who will drop by)

I cook for my family of 13
