WWYD

We're hosting my ILs birthday party this Sunday (their birthdays are 3 days apart) and I had planned my entire menu yesterday: Stuffed Shells, Garlic Cheese Bread, etc and then I remembered my 15 month old niece is lactose.

Should I reconsider my menu (I havent gone shopping yet) or would it be rude to ask SIL to bring something for her?

Re: WWYD

  • Italian stuff is cheap and easy and it keeps. I think if that's what you want to do then I say go for it. BUT then plan something for your niece. Maybe noodles and sauce, no cheese? Or something to that effect.

    OR if you feel really bad and want to switch...how about a taco bar. That way she could just skip the sour cream and cheese?

  • I probably wouldn't change the menu for a 15 month old. At that age, she should be pretty easy to please with something else. Ditto Kristy on noodles with sauce and no cheese. That sounds like a good alternative.
  • I agree. At 15mths Isabel probably wouldn't of touched the shells anyway. Maybe buy her a box of those mini pasta shapes for kids. And she can feel special cause she has her own special pasta
  • I didn't even pay attention to her age. I don't think she'd eat a taco. You're better off with the noodles and sauce for her.

    That had been my thought process exactly.


    H just told me his BIL called to ask what we were making just to be sure baby niece can eat it which made me feel bad. I just went through my bookmarked recipes and came across a pulled pork crockpot recipe. I'm thinking I might go that route since its easy and pretty much cooks itself. Although I've never made it but how hard can it be right? I think I might do baked beans and potato salad as side dishes.

    Anyone got any good potato salad recipes?

  • umm that sounds yummy. And it sounds lot easier than stuffing those shells.
  • You know I'm kind of glad I hit this road block and I'm just glad I hadnt gone shopping already. Stuffed shells would have been a pain and pulled pork sandwiches is a bit lighter than pasta especially in the summer.
