So three 12 count nuggets maybe, that would be like half a small tray and still a little cushion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food-1#post-2560865 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 16:29:25 +0000 gingerbebe 2560865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get more and freeze any leftovers - they reheat nicely in the toaster oven. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food-1#post-2560847 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 15:50:25 +0000 pinkcupcake 2560847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: I've only had them recently too! They are definitely delicious :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food-1#post-2560679 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 12:25:15 +0000 autumnlove 2560679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Large and small. Adults love the nuggets too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food-1#post-2560662 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 12:09:05 +0000 pregnantbee 2560662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: Haha!

Cfa ....... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food-1#post-2560599 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 11:08:03 +0000 pinkcupcake 2560599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like one large pan is enough but I'm so paranoid about running out of food at a party. I would get a large and small to be safe but I have a feeling you'll end up with leftovers ;) </p> <p>For our last party, I ended up ordering way too many pizzas and ended up with 3 whole large leftovers -.- </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food-1#post-2560556 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 10:30:44 +0000 pregnantbee 2560556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tough call, but I also agree that more is better than not enough. You could also send people home with some at the end of the party so you're not stuck eating nuggets for days. (Unless you WANT to eat them for days.....) ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food-1#post-2560513 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 09:39:20 +0000 mediagirl 2560513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: right? I can see myself snacking on them before the party and then....ooops I ate too many.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food-1#post-2560504 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 09:28:46 +0000 avivoca 2560504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do a large and a small. CFA nuggets are addicting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food-1#post-2560494 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 09:16:14 +0000 youboots 2560494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: since you specifically said you are providing dinner I'd get a small too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food-1#post-2560492 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 09:14:52 +0000 ShootingStar 2560492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably do a large and a small just to be on the safe side. Just large seems like it's cutting it a little close. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food-1#post-2560489 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 09:13:02 +0000 Mamaof2 2560489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: adults would easily eat 10 a piece and kids 4 or more - I would do a large and a small </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food-1#post-2560486 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 09:10:54 +0000 mediagirl 2560486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: 3:30. I noted on the invite that we are providing dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food-1#post-2560483 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 09:08:32 +0000 Smurfette 2560483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A large would be like 5 nuggets a person. That is cutting it too close for me. I hate to short on food. I would get a small and a large. Worse case you have leftovers for the week. Make wraps, top salads, etc till you use it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food-1#post-2560475 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 09:01:39 +0000 jape14 2560475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered a large tray a month ago for a party I threw. We didn't even come close to finishing it with ~40 people there (and other food, too - but still). We were eating leftover chicken nuggets for days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food-1#post-2560471 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 08:58:51 +0000 youboots 2560471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could also hold a 1/3 of them warming in the oven then put them out when it's getting low. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food-1#post-2560470 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 08:58:04 +0000 dolphin 2560470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our party will have about the same amount of guests as you! And I totally hear you about having kid's only parties. :happy: I would do one large tray. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food-1#post-2560465 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 08:54:14 +0000 looch 2560465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd get the large pan. I would guesstimate that most people's plates would have a scoop of the mac and cheese plus 4 or so chicken nuggets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food-1#post-2560462 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 08:51:24 +0000 FaithFertility 2560462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I think large would be good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food-1#post-2560458 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 08:49:19 +0000 youboots 2560458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote large. It's fine to run out. What time is the party? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food-1#post-2560422 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 08:25:01 +0000 snowjewelz 2560422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not help; I just wanted to say that I have the same worst nightmare about hosting! I always waaayyyy overbuy b/c I am so afraid of not having enough food! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-food-1#post-2560418 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 08:21:13 +0000 mediagirl 2560418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter's birthday party is coming up. We have 13 kids and 26 adults attending (and can I tell you how I can't wait for kid-only parties????) We are doing a mac n cheese bar (thanks, yoursilverlining for the idea!) and chick-fil-a nuggets. "Side dishes" include goldfish, peppers and carrots and strawberries and blueberries. </p> <p>SO....we are making 2 pans of mac n cheese. How many nuggets should we buy? </p> <p>Small Tray (Serves 8, includes 64 Nuggets)<br /> Medium Tray (Serves 15, includes 120 Nuggets)<br /> Large Tray (Serves 25, includes 200 Nuggets)</p> <p>I feel like a large tray would be enough....but I'm worried we will run out. My worst fear is running out of food at a party I am hosting. Should we get the large or a large and a small tray? </p>
