Yes, this! Also if at least some prepared foods are in your budget, don’t feel guilty about embracing that if it helps.
We once hosted Thanksgiving dinner for extended family in a vacation cabin connected to a motel in Western Mass. because that’s what someone organized one year. Cooking the feast for that number of people would have been woeful with just a tiny stove, small fridge and no countertop in a closet-sized kitchenette set up. After we figured that out, we volunteered to arrange pick up from a local caterer. Got a tasty dinner on the table for all and nobody’s nerves were frayed.
The kitchenette had real dishes and I simply chose to ignore the foil pans in that case.
