Please help me with the menu for my graduation party
Comments (15)Thanks everyone, for your kind words and for your input into the menu. Yes Lindac - bubbly is a MUST! I anticipate a great deal of toasting..;) And I'd love your salad recipe if it isn't a bother to send it along. Mostly finger foods it will be, along with a salad or two and a simple dessert platter of cookies and loads of fresh fruit. Do you think it's ok if I don't have any hot foods? After all, it is August and hopefully the weather will cooperate we will be outside on the back deck. I'm thinking cold or room temp foods are fine. Do you think sushi rolls are ok? How many pieces total should I get? Thanks, AM...See MoreCocktail party menu
Comments (19)Thanks everyone! I will be running the suggestions past the host/hostess. I am afraid they are pretty set on the baked brie (I agree with you all that it gets icky) but maybe I can talk them into baked brie bites in the little phyllo cups with various toppings instead. That way they would be butlered when they are warm and we can do several batches. Thanks again!...See MoreLasagna Menu for 60th birthday party
Comments (5)Jenn this is one of my all time favorite dinner party menus. Being vegetarian, I offer roasted eggplant dip, hummus or spinach dip with toasted pita wedges. This is always a big hit with everyone. The great thing is, you can buy all of these dips at a decent grocery store with a good deli. The eggplant dip often goes by the baba ganouj or baba ganoush moniker. I make my own because it is dead easy, just grill or roast a peeled large eggplant with a good coating of olive oil, add a small jar of roasted red peppers, and some salt and pepper to taste and give this all a good whirl in the food processor. Add a small splash of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice to keep it fresh longer. If you think it still needs some zip you can add any of the following: tahini, mayonaise, cumin, oregano or aleppo peper. Of course for 60 you might need a COUPLE of large eggplants, lol!...See MoreFinessing summer dinner party menu
Comments (30)But I'm still with Olychick! Borrow some more TV trays of any kind you can lift. I used to do mill around food for buffets which could be eaten one handed, including special plates for the purpose that made it easy to hold plate and cup, but people still wanted to sit to eat and have at least a tray table to set things on. If you can't borrow any, try milk crates, wood barrels or boxes, small occasional tables, etc. Or even rent some bar/cafe tables (the little round ones). Easier to adapt your environment than convince people to not want a table....See Moredcarch7 d c f l a s h 7 @ y a h o o . c o m
