Menu help!
We are having my dd's first birthday Saturday. Can you let me know if you think this is enough food?
About 30 adults and 14 kids
Appetizers:
Bean salsa with chips
Zucchini squares (bisquik recipe)
*need another idea or 2
Main dishes:
Pulled pork sliders (12 pound boneless shoulder that I roasted and shredded - made one deep half tray)
Sausage and peppers on Italian bread heroes (big pack of sausage from Costco grilled and sliced with tons of peppers, onions, and sauce - made 2 deep trays)
Hot dog bar - sauerkraut, onions
Fried chicken (ordered a full tray of mixed pieces)
Sides:
Broccoli slaw
Cucumber salad
Green salad with cranberries, carmelized almonds, and Gorgonzola
Baked beans
Bags of potato chips
Do I need potato salad? More of anything else?

Re: Menu help!
I wouldn't do potato salad but maybe a more traditional coleslaw and mac and cheese. I think with the pork sliders and the fried chicken, those would be popular sides. For appetizers I would do vegetable platters with another type of dip.

Re: Menu help!
I don't really want anything mayo based because if the heat...it sort of grosses me out for some reason!
I was thinking of maybe bruschetta as another app...

I agree with adding a veggie platter to the appetizers. I'd add one more hot appetizer too - maybe pigs in a blanket?
As for sides..how about a cold pasta salad since you are trying to avoid mayo?

Maybe some more kid friendly alternative sides- Mac and Cheese, Pasta salad with mozzarella etc.

Def a veggie platter.
Cold spinach dip with sliced bagels or in a bread bowl for app. Always a crowd pleaser.
Also an easy side is pasta salad. I love to do broccoli, oil, garlic and cheese. Great room temp or cold.
