You can also order a Sicilian pizza and ask them to cut them really tiny. And also garlic knots are always good.

Re: Housewarming party menu

I might add a veggie to the buffet. Usually carrots hold up well in a buffet.. zuccini in oil might do well too.. plus, it's YUM!

Re: Housewarming party menu

for appts I'd add cheese and crackers..and maybe chips and salsa...

for the buffet I'd have a green salad, and some bread/rolls, I'd scrap one of the rices and add in a veggie, broccoli rabe, or steamed greenbeans with almonds. Also, instead of garlic mashed, it might be easier on you to have roasted red potatoes (roast in a little olive oil and rosemary)--they'll go with the chicken and the prime rib, and then you don't have to do all the peeling. they hold up well in a buffet setting.

Re: Housewarming party menu

Maybe add a fish to the buffet. I have an awesome recipe I use for grilled salmon that is so easy.


Marinade for a 1/2 pound fillet:

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar (light)
2 tablesponns olive oil
2 tablespoons water


Mix it in a bowl and throw it in a baggie with the salmon to marinade. I usually marinade it for 2-4 hours. Discard the marinade when done and throw it on the grill for 6 minutes on each side.


Yummy and easy!
