Can I please get advice on Mother's Day Menu
I am not a good entertainer at all! I am hosting about 10 people for Mother's Day. Here is what I have so far: sausage and peppers with rolls, meatballs and sausage in crockpot, fettucine with spinach alfredo sauce.
Any other ideas? What else can I add? Thank you so much!!
Re: Can I please get advice on Mother's Day Menu
Welcome to EI
I'm seeing lots of processed meat on that menu. We'll have to do some tweaking, but first, questions.
Is this 10 people for a sit-down or will people be perching on the sofa? Is this intended to be a full meal? Do you have picky eaters? What is "sausage and peppers with rolls" - an app thing or a sandwich thing?
My first thought is to use the fettuccine as the main dish and work to add to it like you would for a normal meal, but I'm interested in your answers first.

Think about what you would want to eat as a meal. For me you have too much meat, no veggies, nothing cold, and it's prretty heavy. I'd pick either the sausage and peppers or the pasta and work a menu from there.
One fun thing I did was a pasta bar- linguini, a marinara sauce, an alfredo, meatballs, chicken, and shrimp, then I let people build their own.
Another idea, grill the sausages and while you're at it, grill some veggies and toss with some orzo and a lemon vinagrette.
I like 6's idea of a pasta bar.
My thought was to use the fettuccine as your starch/carb side, then either bake or grill chicken tenders (tenders only because they cook more quickly), add two vegetables (sweet potato wedges maybe and a salad), and a dessert. If yall are big sausage eaters, maybe serve cheese and sausage slices as an app with crackers while you're getting everything ready.

Well I personally would say that menu isn't so bad but I'm italian...
so I would just do sausage/rolls, meatballs (homemake them though) and a pasta that you can actually top with meatballs (it could still be cheesy, but not creamy).
add a salad, some grilled zucchini, and dessert
