Except for the main dish combo, ALL the sides are listed on the plan for 100 page, and you can easily estimate yourself, just use the 100 number. For the potatoes, use 2/3 the amount for 100, for rice, use 1/2 the amount for 100. You will have some left, but everyone will get their first choice.

For the appetizers, use 1 of my relish trays for 60, 8 pounds each cheese and thin sliced pepperoni and 6 pounds crackers, 3 times the fruit tray for 25 and veggie tray for 50-60 with ranch dressing- you will have veggies left with all that other good stuff.

So write back. If you feel unsure after your estimates, post them and I will check them for you.
