Hospitality Room for 250 people
Candace 02/19/14	Hi Ellen! I'm hoping you can help me out with quantities needed to serve 250 people breakfast lunch and dinner. And maybe an idea of what to serve for dinner. All of the cooking will be done in our schools home-ec room. We normally use roaster ovens. Planning on baking the potatoes in the ovens that are in the class room. Most all of our food is donated by members so we rely on them to do some prep also. Breakfast: Donated Crock-pot breakfast cassaroles. I figured 25 of these. muffins bananas cuties other fruit? Orange juice yogurt cups? Coffee any suggestions? Lunch: Sloppy Joes for 250 I figured 62# of cooked ground beef with 10# of canned sloppy joe sauce cheese slice trays coleslaw, I figured 25# potatoe Chips Fruit salad cookies Lemonade water coffee Dinner: small ck breasts in sour cream sauce or other idea that would be simple and inexpensive and can cook in roaster ovens baked potatoes sour cream? salad salad dressing roll butter cake? Pie? Bar cookies? salad any suggestions and quantities needed would be so very much appreciated.
ellen 02/19/14	Candace, 3 menus for 250 is a huge request. Are you willing to make a pro-level donation, say a quarter per person, to the site? For example, you need to provide for vegetarians and the gluten-free, if you are planning on 250. How many real ovens and refrigerators do you have access to? What is the age range of your crowd? Please write back.
