So, consider:
Brisket-6-7 pounds ready to serve, suggest slider buns, 12 per pound. a couple quarts slice dpickles and a few pounds sliced onions.
Salmon, 8 pounds. An option would be poached/steamed and served cold, very nice for warmer weather and can be done ahead.
Fried fish, 1 piece per person, 1 cup tartar sauce per 8.

Mac -n-Cheese, 5 pounds dry pasta,quart sauce per pound, 1/2 to1 pound cheese per pound pasta
Green Beans, 10-12 pounds ready to cook

Withthis nice menu haw about a corn and black bean salsa, about a gallon?
