Allrecipes to Convert Servings

Allrecipes is a great site for recipes, but it is a great site for converting serving sizes for larger groups. I occasionally have to prepare a meal for 30, 50, or even 200 people (for church). The conversion calculator makes it easy to determine how much of the ingredients to buy- at least it gives you a ball park figure and you do not have to do the math.

Here is an example:
I had to make Taco Salad for 200 teen age girls. I used the taco salad recipe, change the 8 people to 200 and clicked "calculate". This changed the 1 pound of ground beef to 25 pounds of ground beef and all the other ingredients. This is super helpful when you are having a gathering!
