It was heated through but not too mushy by party time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/make-your-own-sandwich-bar-what-else-to-serve#post-2795188 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 06:50:49 +0000 catgirl 2795188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the idea of a make your own sandwich bar! But agree with others that soup would be tricky. I think a green salad and a pasta salad would be good choices. Along with some chips or pretzels for a crunch. </p> <p>If you really want to serve something warm, you could make macaroni and cheese in the crockpot. It would be able to be on the same plates as sandwiches and is easier to eat while standing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/make-your-own-sandwich-bar-what-else-to-serve#post-2795185 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 05:56:00 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2795185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: totally not lame. Recently at a work function we provided make your own sandwiches to our clients. I hadn’t thought much of it because I usually take a part the premade sandwiches anyway, but I heard a few people talking about how it was nice to assemble their own sandwich. There weren’t that many choices, but the possibilities are endless.</p> <p>A hearty ie (pasta) based side salad would be delicious too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/make-your-own-sandwich-bar-what-else-to-serve#post-2795149 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 21:20:41 +0000 Foodnerd81 2795149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally I would rather some easy to eat salads over soup- seems too potentially messy unless everyone has an actual seat at a table. But any soup could be made ahead of time and just heated up in the crock pot that morning. I love chili, tomato soup (don’t have a good recipe), and butternut squash soup- skinny taste has a yummy one with coconut milk. </p> <p>My favorite sandwich side is potato salad- but again I don’t have a good recipe. Depending on the crowd maybe a quinoa salad- I like the skinny taste one with mango and black beans, or this one with a maple dressing, apples, spinach, nuts... <a href="https://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/apple-walnut-quinoa-salad/" rel="nofollow">https://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/apple-walnut-quinoa-salad/</a> </p> <p>I think that sandwich bar sounds great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/make-your-own-sandwich-bar-what-else-to-serve#post-2795140 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 20:16:57 +0000 Meowkers 2795140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: we're doing that this weekend as well, along with a bagels and lox bar. Just wanted to see what other people put on their sandwiches. :-). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/make-your-own-sandwich-bar-what-else-to-serve#post-2795137 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 19:58:21 +0000 HappyBaker 2795137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: Ooh good point I didn't even think of that! I was thinking of putting it in coffee mugs but even that would be dicey to be walking around with! Maybe I'll skip the soup and just make chili or something a little thicker. Thanks!</p> <p>@Meowkers: Probably sounds lame but just 3 or 4 different meats, cheeses, assortment of really nice bakery rolls / bagels / croissants, and lots of veggies and condiments for toppings. A friend did it for a baby shower and it was nice to just be able to make what you actually wanted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/make-your-own-sandwich-bar-what-else-to-serve#post-2795136 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 19:44:01 +0000 MamaCate 2795136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: I am wondering how soup would work if it is potluck style? Will there be table seating for everyone? I am trying to picture myself balancing soup and a sandwich on a couch and thinking it might not be worth it. I just wouldn’t want you to go to the trouble if people wouldn’t eat it...or maybe I am just lazy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/make-your-own-sandwich-bar-what-else-to-serve#post-2795129 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 18:32:40 +0000 looch 2795129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite soup with a sandwich is tomato soup.

I'd love to serve a soup and salad as sides - any favorites? Bonus points for a soup I can make in the crock pot and not worry about! </p>
