Is it more lunch time? If it is it sounds fine just make sure there's enough ziti to go around bc that sounds like your main entrée? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-this-party-menu#post-693400 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 07:11:25 +0000 looch 693400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MMM, looks yummy. I'd be so happy to see crab rangoon...baked ziti not so much. I know it's easy and feeds a lot, so I don't blame you at all for doing it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-this-party-menu#post-693353 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 04:47:58 +0000 illumina 693353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: I like the idea of the tomato tarts, but I agree with cutting the other two.. I'm not sure what crab rangoons are either! *runs away* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-this-party-menu#post-692651 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:59:13 +0000 travelgirl1 692651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: @illumina: I had nooo idea what those foods were either : ) But your menu sounds amazing! Lucky guests! I'm sad to see your tea party go though - afternoon tea rocks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-this-party-menu#post-692578 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:34:26 +0000 Smurfette 692578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds yummy. I want to come. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-this-party-menu#post-692560 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:27:44 +0000 Raindrop 692560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: I think you can cut out all three and definitely still be okay. Garlic anything sounds super yummers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-this-party-menu#post-692559 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:26:25 +0000 Raindrop 692559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: I was guessing what you meant by buffalo chicken muffins and I was pretty close :) but I just wanted to say that the pictures looks super yummy! </p> <p>*trying to figure out how to get invited to zippylef's party* Hehe. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-this-party-menu#post-692558 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:25:57 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 692558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds tasty, but its alot of different things- bakeware, serveware plus storage. Since you are serving brie bites and buffalo chicken muffins I think you can eliminate the bruschetta too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-this-party-menu#post-692556 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:24:59 +0000 loveisstrange 692556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: @illumina: @runsyellowlites: What if I cut the baked brie or crab rangoon and tomato basil tarts and just did garlic bread/breadsticks/rolls? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-this-party-menu#post-692542 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:19:06 +0000 loveisstrange 692542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: Girl, come over here this weekend and I'll give you some baked ziti. lol. SO good. Mmmm. But yeah, you guys are definitely not as adventurous as we are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-this-party-menu#post-692537 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:17:55 +0000 runsyellowlites 692537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: It all sounds so good... I've never had anything on it though! lol</p> <p>I agree that maybe cutting some things would help make things easier &amp; still be plenty filling.</p> <p>I use this for figuring "how much" food to serve:<br /> <a href="http://weddingdaypin.co/2012/11/08/how-much-food-and-drinks-to-serve-at-a-party/" rel="nofollow">http://weddingdaypin.co/2012/11/08/how-much-food-and-drinks-to-serve-at-a-party/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-this-party-menu#post-692531 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:16:51 +0000 illumina 692531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: Ok so the muffins are made out of pastry instead of cake mix and the ziti is a cross between lasagna and cannelloni...</p> <p>Us Brits are not as adventurous with food as our American cousins. I'm so envious of all the different food chains over there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-this-party-menu#post-692519 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:12:46 +0000 loveisstrange 692519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: Oh man, how have you never had baked ziti?!</p> <p><a href="http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/01/buffalo-chicken-cupcakes/" rel="nofollow">http://doughmesstic.com/2012/05/01/buffalo-chicken-cupcakes/</a></p> <p><a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/baked-ziti-i/?scale=30&#038;ismetric=0" rel="nofollow">http://allrecipes.com/recipe/baked-ziti-i/?scale=30&#038;ismetric=0</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-this-party-menu#post-692512 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:10:36 +0000 illumina 692512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are buffalo chicken muffins? I'm guessing it must be an American thing as this silly Brit is picturing a cupcake with pieces of chicken inside? Also, what is ziti?</p> <p>I'm sorry I haven't answered your question very well! I love Italian and would happily eat it all, but like @Raindrop: says, is this going to be alot of work for you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-this-party-menu#post-692507 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:07:38 +0000 loveisstrange 692507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: I definitely don't have a problem cutting something! lol. I can actually make a lot of it tomorrow and then bake it before the party. I was considering cutting the tomato mozzarella tarts since I feel like theres a lot of tomato happening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-this-party-menu#post-692494 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:03:23 +0000 Raindrop 692494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds super tasty! </p> <p>My one suggestion is that you probably don’t need so much variety. I’m only saying that because it will save you a lot of stress not having so many options and keeping them warm/cold.</p> <p>For DS b-day we had a Hawaiian themed menu and I got 3 half trays of meat from a local Hawaiian fast food place and we cooked our own rice and that was a big hit. :) We had about the same amount of people. Oh we also had cake… lots of cake. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-is-this-party-menu#post-692453 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 16:49:59 +0000 loveisstrange 692453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 27 adults and 18 kids (ages 6 months to 8 years) coming to C's birthday. I think we've scrapped everything we were thinking before because DH said DIY sandwiches was "cheap" and the tea idea was not filling enough.</p> <p>This is what I'm thinking:</p> <p>Baked ziti<br /> tomato basil tarts<br /> anti-pasto skewers<br /> bruschetta<br /> baked brie bites<br /> crab rangoon<br /> buffalo chicken muffins<br /> fruit try<br /> veggie tray with dip and hummus<br /> and cake, cookies and cannoli cups for dessert.</p> <p>Does that sound good? I guess we're sort of doing a loosely Italian-based menu (DH is Italian... it works). Do you think thats enough to feed all those people? </p>
