ellen 05/01/14	It takes about 2 (non-attending) people in the kitchen and 6 out front to set up, serve, and clean up this size party. You want the appetizers ready when the guest starts to arrive. veg tray- suggest classic relish tray top of the veggie tray page, with about 4 pounds of finger veggies and a quart of Ranch added chz tray- 1 pound per 12, some can be logs or spread 6 pounds crackers bacon wrapped shrimp- VERY popular. At least 2 per person chicken lollipops- 1.5 per person roast beef, 2 pounds raw per 5 chicken thighs and drums w bbq, 1 quarter per 2, cut some apart, as some people will want both green salad Caesar salad With the other 2 salads, consider doing just one of these- use the plan for 100 page. mango coleslaw-2 1/2 gallons peach tomato feta salad- 2 gallons, none left green beans-22 pounds ready to cook corn confetti-22 pounds ready to cook If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation,maybe a dime per guest, to support this site. Thanks.
