Need some food ideas

6fsn · December 2013

Max's birthday party is at 11am. I was thinking:

bacon, cheddar, potato, and egg casserole
spiral ham (or deli slices?)
sausage gravy
cheese slices
biscuits and bread for sandwiches
fruit salad
homemade granola bars

I feel like I need a starch and/or a veg. I was thinking a pasta salad loaded with veggies, but that's kind of boring

Also- white Costco cake, chocolate covered oreos, hot chocolate bar, and coffee bar (with booze), OJ , soft drinks

I think it sounds great! <<not helpful, I know

Guess the question is deli slices or spiral ham? What sort of side? Am I missing something?

Of course now the granola bars sound strange and I wonder if I should do a Danish thing. I just had granola bars on the brain.

I'd do the Costco Danish rings if you are going to be there already. Ham sounds good to me.
I have to start this soon too, gah.

Maybe instead of granola bars do crumbled granola and throw some yogurt out with it?

Is there something easy that would be like hashbrown patties, but not so labor intensive? Tator tots?

I thought about yogurt, but I don't think anyone else eats it.

I was originally going to do cheesy potatoes, but the casseroles have potatoes in them so it seemed redundant.

This is an awesome broccoli salad and it has some sweetness. But it does have bacon, IDK if it'd end up being too much.

Hm, I do a similar one with raisins and tortellini. I always think of it for summer, but it might be a good call.

I think the broccoli salad would be good. I'm looking for something green in your menu - and not lime jello fluff!

6fsn · December 2013

6let tried lime fluff for the first time at Tday. He was not impressed.

This is also a good one: http://www.cairnsmanor.com/?p=1782 The dressing is nice and light, we love the dried fruit part too.

you can do a pasta with broccoli salad, and it can be warm or cold. sautee broccoli in garlic and oil, add a splash of white wine while it cooks, salt and pepper, and garlic powder. i like it very crunch, and a little charred.

mix it with whatever pasta you like, more olive oil, and grated cheese. that is it. WAHLAH. you can also ad shredded carrots, but i don't care for that.
