My mom makes one dessert really well- sweet potato pie- and she'll be hurt if I ask her not to bring one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-feast#post-2327026 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 11:35:43 +0000 yoursilverlining 2327026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That’s a feast all right! I think the menu looks great. If I saw “feast” on an invite, I would expect a lot of options. I wouldn’t necessarily expect full entrees like full hams/turkeys or full trays of mac and cheese, etc. I wouldn’t be surprised if I found a lot of heavy appetizers (hot and cold), for example, to nibble off of all evening. So, I think “feast” is pretty open-ended - - as long as you provide a lot of food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-feast#post-2327005 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 11:27:54 +0000 Ms.Badger 2327005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that looks great. I personally would make 2 hot veggies (both brussel sprouts and green beans) and add a straight green salad. I'd make only 3 starches (either both mashed pototoes and mac and cheese and 1 "roll" or mashed potatoes or mac and cheese and 2 "rolls"). Definitely looks like a feast to me!</p> <p>ETA: I'd also probably add a soup because I love soup! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-feast#post-2327004 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 11:27:51 +0000 wrkbrk 2327004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: That sounds wonderful!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-feast#post-2327003 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 11:27:47 +0000 blackbird 2327003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a feast would indicate ALL THE FOOD. i mean. a feast. a total feast.
