ellen 01/03/17	mixed greens (assuming salad) use plan for 100 table yellow rice, 8 pounds dry per 100 fresh cavatelli pasta, tough estimate with rice, but about 1 pound per 6. assorted roasted vegetable platters: roasted mushroom, sweet potato, string beans, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower. You plan at least 1/2 pound ready to cook per person, I would go 10-12 ounces with the potatoes. You plan the mix, according to budget and availability. About 2 tablespoons olive oil per pound. bbq chicken (small pieces)- one piece per person carving: roasted turkey breast, roasted pernil (pork shoulder) This is a little tricky because pork preference varies by communities. You want a total of 1 pound boneless per 3 people, or about 65 pounds meat (100 pounds bone in) but how you divide may vary-
