Yikes! Happy event, BIG job. That is a huge party, not one you can do by yourself, especially if you plan to grill. Where are you going to be cooking, storing and serving this 350-400 pounds of food? How much help? Are you planning to have people bring things? What beverages? Have you considered doing different parties on different days so grandmother can really enjoy them without getting overwhelmed? Maybe a tea party, a luncheon or brunch and a grill meal/ Write and tell me more. |

Baked rice pilaf is an excellent choice, and you might also consider the baked potato bar, which holds well. Maybe both.
tri-tip- I actually allow 1/2 pound per person, but you could do 2 pounds for 5 garden salad- use 2 or 2 1/2 times the amount for 100 on the plan for 100 page
Add pasta or potato salad
peach cobbler, each 9x13 serves 12 |
