let's play 'critique my menu'!

We are hosting a potluck for Mother's day - do you think I should add anything to the following? (about 35-40 people coming over)

bolding what I am making:

egg strata w/artichoke hearts & roasted red peppers

croissant french toast w/fresh berries

egg and sausage casserole

brunch potatoes

meat & cheese tray

bagels & cream cheese

green salad

fruit tray/fruit salad

cold crab/shrimp

1 dessert

Do you think that we need anything else? I was thinking maybe a second dessert or another salad (pasta? roasted beet?) but I'm not sure. MH will tell me we have enough, but I am seriously paranoid about not having enough food or enough variety.

Re: let's play 'critique my menu'!

  • Looks good to me. Make that 41 people I'm coming over! :::drool:::  (Kidding of course) That honestly sounds like more than enough food and sounds delish!
  • That sounds like it will be plenty of food!  Sounds so good!
  • Because you are serving 35-40 people I would probably add another kind of salad but probably not pasta.  I think a green salad blue cheese or gorgonzola, craisins and pecans would be good with a strawberry or raspberry vinagrette.  I'd say 2 different types of Green salad.

    Also I would do 2 different kinds of dessert, maybe one with chocolate and one with some kind of fresh fruit.


    Otherwise everything sounds delicious! I want some!

  • I'd probably have donuts and/or pastries, but I don't know if that falls in the dessert category! :) Other than that, looks good to me!
  • I think you'll have plenty of food - looks good!
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • I'm late to this, but I wanted to put in my 2 cents.

    It sounds like enough food, but it wouldn't hurt to have more desert. One desert doesn't sound like much.
