I need to figure out what we'll be eating for DD's birthday this weekend... 16 people. I wanted to order chicken but DH said it'll cost $200 just for supper. It may be pizza or else I cook something (no gril because it is supposed to be very rainy and windy on saturday). Any ideas? I have a crock I can use to keep things hot and I might be able to borrow another one.
DH's family is a bit fussy though. Dessert is taken care of - SIL will get a cake made with DD's picture on it (and DS too since his bday was the 7th of april)
This thread could be useful when receiving for Christmas too.
Some ideas:
- Lasagna (can't do this because SIL did this 2 weeks ago)
- Salad bar (DH's family does not eat salad!)
- Potato bar (DH's family eats 'em potatoes plain / with butter)
- Soup Bar - could be an option but for them... soup is not a complet meal so I'd still have to make something else.
- Sloppy Joes... DH says it's not quite fancy enough.. and one of his sisters won't eat it (she doesn't eat anything with mustard, ketchup or mayonnaise in it... fussy!)
