Lunchtime menu help!

I'm hosting a Thirty-One party in a week and a half for a friend who just became a consultant.  I invited like 26 people on facebook, figuring maybe 8-10 people would come...well...it's up to like 15 already!  (We're all teachers, and I guess it's been a boring summer!)  So, what should I make for lunch?  I offered lunch hoping to convince people to come...oh my!

One idea I had was getting chicken salad and shrimp salad pre-made (super yummy) from the grocery store and then make a salad or fruit salad?  Of course with a yummy dessert. 

I'm open to baking/cooking/buying...but I just don't know what to serve!

Suggestions please!

Re: Lunchtime menu help!

  • Store-bought chicken and shrimp salad for that many people will be expensive.  A 1 lb tub of the good stuff from a restaurant here is $18, but maybe yours is cheaper.

    I saw this recipe the other day and saved it.   Looks fabulous for just that sort of thing.

    Have out cheese & crackers, veggies & dip, a couple sandwich options, fruit salad, a green salad, a cold pasta side, and something simple like cookies and brownies for dessert.

  • Agreed with tarheels that buying may get pricey.  Something fun might be a salad bar- lettuce, spinach, carrots, celery, cucumber, green onion, shredded cheese, peas, poached chicken, cubed ham, hardboiled egg, a few dressings and some good bread.

    Otherwise I'd probably premake some wraps, hummus and veg tray, broccoli tortellini salad   fruit tray with dip.

    I saw the cutest dessert I can't wait to try.  They called it candy pizza.  It looked like they made a round rice crispy treat, topped with melted chocolate that had reset, then M&Ms and other candies.  She cut it into wedges.  Soooo cute.
