I don't know exactly. We serve it in a bowl the size of your average mixing bowl. I would guess at least 12. We usually make for holiday dinners of 6-7 people and end up with half left over. You would probably want to double? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-party-menu-post#post-710552 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 08:29:48 +0000 regberadaisy 710552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SLR: hm that seems relatively inexpensive! How much does that make? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-party-menu-post#post-710544 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 08:27:20 +0000 SLR 710544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nevermind - I actually have the fruit salad recipe in my email. Here it is. </p> <p>You'd want to make it that morning and chill, and then add the bananas at the last minute. It is sooo easy (and pretty!).</p> <p>1 21 oz. can peach pie filling<br /> 2 15 oz. cans chunk pineapple<br /> 2 8 oz. cans Mandarin oranges<br /> 1 10 oz. bag frozen strawberries<br /> 4 bananas</p> <p>Mix all ingredients except bananas &amp; chill. Add bananas just before serving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-party-menu-post#post-710485 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 08:04:57 +0000 looch 710485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Oh those sound good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-party-menu-post#post-710483 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 08:04:52 +0000 SLR 710483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a super easy fruit salad recipe if you still want to do that.

That will be more Asian. Maangchi.com has some yummy sauces.... Hmmm sounds yummy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-party-menu-post#post-710394 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 07:35:16 +0000 regberadaisy 710394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: probably chicken with onions, peppers, zuchinni, etc. Depends what veggies are available/on sale that week. :P Not sure how we are going to marinate yet.</p> <p>@tequiero21: hahaha no offense taken! I agree....if I was making all the sides I wouldn't make potato salad either but MIL is offering so I'm not going to say no to help!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-party-menu-post#post-710316 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 06:46:54 +0000 looch 710316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What kind of kebabs exactly? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-party-menu-post#post-710261 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 05:12:23 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 710261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds pretty good. I love summer rolls and seaweed salad. You could always just make a big ol' batch of rice in a rice cooker. "Set it and forget it!" lol</p> <p>If you go on Pinterest and search Mexican quinoa salad, it's soo delish! It's got corn and cilantro, really good. I made it last year for a cook-out and everyone loved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-party-menu-post#post-710239 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 03:48:05 +0000 tequiero21 710239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I don't think pizza bite goes w the menu per se, but I think it'll be good for the kids....</p> <p>Kimchi w shish kabob? Don't take offense please, but the menu doesn't seem like it would jive. U have Asian, Mediterranean, American.... Maybe pick one? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-party-menu-post#post-710208 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 01:26:46 +0000 loveisstrange 710208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: ahh... Okay. Lol. I knew you were Asian, I was just confused. Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-party-menu-post#post-709792 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 20:36:37 +0000 regberadaisy 709792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: we never have this issue! My husband is notorious for always making too much food! We always have SO much leftover we literally give people food to take home and still eat for 2 days afterwards. Trying to curb that so we spend less. :P</p> <p>@zippylef: haha it's not but I am so I want to do some asian sides. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-party-menu-post#post-709177 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 18:24:37 +0000 loveisstrange 709177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: I agree. 2 per adult, 1 per kid.</p> <p>I'd say serve the kebabs with pita, lettuce, tomato and tsatsiki sauce. I wasn't aware kebabs were Asian? I always associate them with Greek and Middle Eastern food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-party-menu-post#post-709160 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 18:21:03 +0000 prettylizy 709160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say 2 kabobs per adult 1 per kid but I'm paranoid about running out of food. </p> <p>Love this quinoa salad<br /> <a href="http://www.canadianliving.com/food/quinoa_and_chickpea_salad_with_tomato_vinaigrette.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.canadianliving.com/food/quinoa_and_chickpea_salad_with_tomato_vinaigrette.php</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-party-menu-post#post-709143 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 18:18:46 +0000 regberadaisy 709143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Beuller? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-party-menu-post#post-708692 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 16:00:45 +0000 regberadaisy 708692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another party menu post!</p> <p>The party is starting at 1pm and we have 33 adults &amp; 7 kids (1yr - 9yrs).</p> <p>So far we have </p> <p>Appetizers:<br /> Summer roll<br /> Pizza bites (is this just weird with the rest of the menu?)<br /> Veggie platter w hummus<br /> Maybe seaweed salad (think sushi restaurant)<br /> Maybe smoked salmon on cucumber<br /> Might ask my friend to make egg rolls or chicken satay</p> <p>I think this is more than enough since the main food will be served about an hr later?</p> <p>Lunch:<br /> Shish Kebobs (how many? 1 per adult? 1 per 2kids?)</p> <p>Sides:<br /> Potato Salad (MIL)<br /> Chef's Salad (aunt)<br /> Quinoa Salad (anyone have a good recipe?)<br /> Maybe a cucumber salad </p> <p>What other sides? I would love to do a bright springy fruit sals but I think it would be too $$$. The key is cost effective and I can do most prep the day before!</p> <p>Asian peeps - I'm drawing a blank. What would be a quick easy side that will go with shish ke bobs??</p> <p>Beverages will be beer, sun tea and/or lemonade and soda. We always have juice on hand.</p> <p>And obviously birthday cake for dessert. :) </p>
