How much I woud need.It is a back yard do,help themselves.I thought the beef on a bun, salads,some sausages on buns.Birthday cake,ice cream and some fresh fruit afterwards. It is 1:00- 4:00pm open house.Open for advice! Margaret |

Hi, you don't mention how many people. The quantity planning pages are all linked to the big pots index page. The top section of plan for 100 has 6 different salad types with directions for 100 people. I would probably do a pasta salad- rotini pasta, maybe tricolor for looks- there are plenty of recipes on the site- and the marinated artichoke heart olive salad on this page (last recipe) www.ellenskitchen.com/recipebox/artichoke.html As to meat, I would estimate 3 ounces of ready to cook sausage and 6 ounces of raw boneless beef per person. They will eat somewhat less meat if you have a big pot of good beans along side. Sandwich fixing estimates are on the sandwich event page. Consider whether you want to have a hot dip or a mound of egg or seafood salad for your non-meat eaters. |
