boneless chicken thighs
penne ala vodka
sausage and peppers
rice pilaf
mini meatballs
grilled vegetable sandwich( catered 12ft)
For app. I will have shrimp cocktail, hummas and chips, three bean salad and veg. platter
Help! I have no clue how much to make

This is a nice, diverse menu. Here are the amounts I would do.

boneless chicken thighs-1 per person
sausage and peppers-1 pound sausage per 5, equal weight veggies
mini meatballs- 1 pound per 5 plus sauce

grilled vegetable sandwich(catered 12ft)- this is 30-35 servings approximately

penne ala vodka- about 7 pounds dry pasta
rice pilaf- about 4 pounds dry rice

shrimp cocktail- people are very greedy about this, and it is better to skip it than to run out. To serve, you need at least 1 pound shrimp per 6 and 1 cup sauce per 6

hummus and chips- 1/4 cup hummus per person, 1 pound chips per 12

three bean salad- about 3 gallons

veg. platter- consider a fruit tray instead, especially if their are many children expected. see either veggie tray page or the fruit tray page for amounts for 100

If this saves you time, trouble or money, consider a donation, maybe a dime per person, to support this site.
