Luncheon Ideas???

So my mom's friends are coming over on Thursday and my mom suggested a "lunch." I was planning on making it a more "dessert" type of thing with teas and coffees, but my mom had other plans I guess. So, I'm looking for ideas on what to make. I don't want to serve chips and salsa. I'd like easy recipes if possible, because I'll be cooking by myself. Help???

Thanks!!!?

Re: Luncheon Ideas???

  • Can you do a big pot of chili and cornbread?  That would be easy!  Otherwise, spaghetti and garlic bread or a big chicken salad...?

  • If you want to buy instead of cook - Costco has very yummy croissant sandwiches (turkey, roast beef and ham) and also their chicken salad is very good.  Otherwise you could make chicken salad and serve it in lettuce cups.  That is very "luncheon-y"
  • Um...  make them bring all the food since you have a 1 week old and a toddler?

    That's my vote!

  • i second the costco suggestion. save yourself some time you have 2 little ones at home and your expected to cook by yourself.

    yeah i'd go to costco. baking cookies is enough effort for me

    totally this!  that or they all better be bringing you a big ol box o diapers! 

  • LoL that's what I told my mom... WHY am I cooking for all these people when I just had a baby and Thursday is my first day home alone without my husband? Ugh! I'm kind of annoyed. My original idea is sounding better and better... I think I'm just going to make cheese puffs and have desserts from Costco.?

    Don't get me wrong... I LOVE to entertain and throw dinner parties, but I'm kind of exhausted.

    Shelly... I sooo hope you're right about the diapers!!!?
