They came to the house, set up everything and provided all paper goods and heating trays. It was perfect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-serve-after-your-los-christening#post-1638863 Fri, 16 May 2014 07:18:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 1638863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: @locavore_mama: either of you have a recipe for the breakfast casserole in crock pot? Sounds great and our oven is acting up so we have to turn the whole circuit off while we wait for the repair guy, so lots if slow cooker meals this week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-serve-after-your-los-christening#post-1638853 Fri, 16 May 2014 07:02:09 +0000 Ash 1638853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: that's what I'm gonna do - breakfast casserole in the crock pot. :) with muffins, donuts and fresh fruit. And cake! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-serve-after-your-los-christening#post-1636730 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:29:41 +0000 Foodnerd81 1636730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours was early afternoon, not too many people, but those that came were coming from out of town, so we did a late lunch/early dinner in a restaurant near the church. It was more expensive, but way easier than doing something myself, plus our apt is too small for a lot of people and the church was kind of far. </p> <p>In your case, I would do brunch stuff. You could have bagels, cut up fruit and yogurt and granola, muffins or some easy pastry, all ready to go, and re-warm a quiche that you made the night before pretty quickly. Plus desserts because who doesn't want dessert? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-serve-after-your-los-christening#post-1636724 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:28:33 +0000 matador84 1636724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going a cookout the night before since the baptism is at 915 the next morning. We'll prob go out to eat afterwards like we normally do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-serve-after-your-los-christening#post-1636711 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:26:20 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1636711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hours was a Saturday evening. My nana helped cater &amp; everything was homemade. </p> <p>Rigatoni with homemade sauce<br /> Pulled pork<br /> Ham BBQ<br /> Salad<br /> Hot sausage<br /> Lasagna<br /> Cheese/cracker spread<br /> trays of cookies and desserts</p> <p>We cooked sauce ahead of time, then a family friend came over and heated everything up. My aunt made a fresh salad before we all ate. I ordered a cake, buns and bread. </p> <p>... There was a lot of people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-serve-after-your-los-christening#post-1636694 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:22:49 +0000 rattles 1636694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours was mid afternoon, and DD was only 6 weeks so I wanted to keep it as simple as possible. I ordered a cake and sandwiches from a local bakery and made a veggie/fruit tray. We served those with a variety of sodas and water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-serve-after-your-los-christening#post-1636531 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:55:26 +0000 Beebug 1636531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Quiche?! Can be served warm or cold!!</p> <p>Is there any way you can have someone come over while you are at the Christening? I was lucky to have a caterer/friend drop everything while we were gone, so it was nice to come home to everything (mid-afternoon, sandwiches and finger foods) all ready for us to snack on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-serve-after-your-los-christening#post-1636530 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:55:15 +0000 LuLu Mom 1636530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had ours at lunch and it was at a local restaurant. However, for my nephews a few months ago we had burnch food. Egg casserole, mini muffins/cinnamon rolls, fruit, french toast bake, bacon, and cake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-serve-after-your-los-christening#post-1636519 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:53:37 +0000 regberadaisy 1636519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: brunch food? You can buy some pastries, premake quiche the night before. Can anyone pop home first to start the oven for reheating? Breakfast casserole in a crock pot? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-serve-after-your-los-christening#post-1636510 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:52:19 +0000 Ash 1636510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I thought about that but not sure how to keep/make it warm since everyone will come over right after church. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-serve-after-your-los-christening#post-1636471 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:46:56 +0000 Smurfette 1636471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The service was at 11, so it was almost 1 when we got back to our house. We had BBQ catered (pulled pork, chicken, rolls, mac n cheese, slaw, and green beans) and they dropped it off at 130. Then ordered a double layer cookie cake from Sam's ($17 which my parents brought since they have the membership). Then ater, soda, beer, and wine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-serve-after-your-los-christening#post-1636455 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:42:22 +0000 Mommy Finger 1636455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a full on Mexican taco bar. But a lot of the items could be made in advance and then reheated.</p> <p>I would definitely do a brunch if yours is that early. There's a ton of things you could do and the majority could be made in advance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-serve-after-your-los-christening#post-1636264 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:01:30 +0000 HLK208 1636264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Finger sandwiches, pasta salad, regular salad, fruit salad, tea, coffee, cake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-serve-after-your-los-christening#post-1636258 Thu, 15 May 2014 11:59:47 +0000 jedeve 1636258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did lunch. We had a apartment, and so we had the party at a local park. My sisters were visiting, and I didn't want to spend the time cooking. So we ordered fried chicken from a local fried chicken place, a few pasta salads from a lunch/catering place, and a sheet cake (OMG amazing early gray mousse chocolate cake) from a local bakery. And cut up a watermelon. </p> <p>If I didn't have family in town, I probably would've just made a few of the salads myself, and done some cookies and brownies for dessert. But ordering fried chicken definitely cut down on a lot of stress! And really wasn't too expensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-serve-after-your-los-christening#post-1636243 Thu, 15 May 2014 11:56:20 +0000 LovelyPlum 1636243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are doing lunch, but what about strata? You can make them ahead of time and bake the morning of. Then serve with fruit and coffee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-serve-after-your-los-christening#post-1636229 Thu, 15 May 2014 11:53:54 +0000 Mamaof2 1636229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours was around lunch. For DS we ordered from a local BBQ place - for DD we had a cook-out with burgers and hot dogs and that kind of stuff!</p> <p>Sounds like you would need more brunch type foods - egg dishes and casseroles - maybe a waffle station :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-serve-after-your-los-christening#post-1636037 Thu, 15 May 2014 11:08:46 +0000 Ash 1636037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're having family over after lo's baptism on Sunday and I'm really struggling with what to serve. Any ideas? The easier the better! </p> <p>I should add, baptism is at 830. </p>
