Default Cooking for 9 for mission trip? Meal ideas?

H! My sister is coming here with a team of nine.

3 white, slightly picky "All-American" eaters
2 Chinese exchange students
4 Mexican-Americans

I am going to Sam's Club on Friday to buy the food for her team.

Her plan for now

bagels and cream cheese
cereal and milk

PB and J
or Ham and Cheese

Dinners
Tacos
Spaghetti
Lasagna

....................

I'm not excited about her lunches or her breakfasts. Other ideas that are easy?

I'm planning on doing any meal prep for her that I can (browning meat, chopping veggies)

I'd be willing to make breakfast egg burritos or other make-ahead foods if I can.

Other simple, easy, not too expensive ideas for dinner?
At least one crock pot meal would be awesome.

White Chicken Chili
Stroganoff

Green Chili Casserole
Herbed Chicken
Stew or Pot Roast with Meat, Carrots, and Potatoes


Variety in Lunch

PB and J
Salad
Tuna or Chicken or Egg Salad (buy one pack of Tuna and canned chicken....donate if nobody eats....I just dump onto my salads for protein)
Quesadillas
Chips and Salsa
BBQ Chicken Sandwiches (easy for me to bake and shred chicken in my stand mixer...just add bbq sauce and put in slow cooker)


Variety in Breakfast
Bagels and Cream Cheese
Cereal and Milk
Yogurt
Breakfast Burritos (I can make ahead)

Hard Boiled Eggs
