Did not see any Dessert.
The wife makes a killer pecan pie, and what she calls a tort (less filling so a higher nuts to crust ratio) can provide a recipe if desired.
Another easy dessert for a big crowd is bread pudding, have a good recipe with a bourbon sauce, but that may not be appropriate in your setting, could probably make it without and use vanilla bean.
Hats off to you for caring.

Green Bean Casserole… but an updated one (no cream of mushroom soup, no French’s Onion Rings from a can)

I did this for Rosh Hashana but carmelized regular onions instead of cippolini. You could also go to frozen green beans instead of fresh (cleaning/cutting green beans for 20 was a lot of work… for 100 would be… well 5x as much work)

As to gravy… do it in advance with good store bought stock… you can add pan scrapings day of… but you don’t want to be struggling with that on that day
