03/30/12 		OK. This is what I would make/buy:

Shrimp Mold 1/3 cup per person
Spinach Dip 1/3 cup per person
crackers- 1 1/2 ounces per person

chicken breast(boneless)- 1 pound raw per 4
pork tender loins- 1 pound raw per three
You need both

cornbread dressing- see my stuffing/dressing recipes
whole green beans- 22 pounds ready to eat per 100, or 5 #10 cans. Look at my better green bean casserole recipe in the holiday cooking section at the top of Big Pots, it is easy and very popular

Fresh fruit(mixed)- see the fruit tray page
chocolate covered strawberries- 2 per person
I assume there will be cake or some such?

baquette bread-12 pounds per 100, 2-3 pounds butter per 100
lemonade or punch- 8 gallons per 100, PLUS you need some unsweetened iced tea (at least 2 gallons per 100) and I suggest dinner coffee, see the bevergae page
