Critique my menu?

So, for our Christmas party, I put on the evite we were having heavy hors d'ouevres. My goal is not to feed people dinner, but to provide enough food for them to feel somewhat full and satisfied. What do you think of our menu?

Spicy hummus with cracker
Fruit slasa with cinnamon chips
Bruschetta with various toppings
Pineapple-ham rollups
Apple Cranberry wontons
Cookies
Special K Candy
Chocolate mousse

Margaritas and either Spiked Cider or Hot Butter Rum

We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.

Re: Critique my menu?

  • Sounds delish...and I just checked my email and don't have my evite yet.  You might have to try again! Stick out tongue

    Can I have the recipe for the fruit salsa and the wontons?  Oh the Special K candy too...if it's not too much trouble!

  • sounds wonderful! and i'm with PP, could i have the recipe for the apple cranberry wontons, fruit salsa and pineapple ham rollups??

    i would maybe add one more "meatier" app - like meatballs or something like that, if i added anything.

    That was my concern. Thanks.

    And DH is getting me a new laptop cord today, so I should be able to post those recipes tonight. Too time consuming to do it from work.

  • Looks dee-lish! I'd add a veggie platter.

    And I don't see my evite either. But it's fine 'cause I'll just watch it all from my window with my binoculars.

  • Looks great but I would add something a little meatier too...

    meatballs, hot wings, empanadas, cocktail sandwiches, etc.

  • ditto to hawki and the others: maybe add something meatier.... or if you dont want to add more meat, maybe just add something savory, seems like you have several dishes that are sweet or involve fruit.

    your menu sounds great though!!

  • I think it sounds delicious! We are having a very similar party, and here is our menu:

    Spiked Hot Apple Cider

    Egg Nog

    Champagne Punch

     Empanadas

    Sweet & Sour Meatballs

    Veggies/Dip

    Cucumber Sandwiches

    Christmas Cookies

    Puppy Chow

    Cupcakes

    I really wanted more food (I would have added chips/salsa/guacamole and a cheese platter) but DH held me back.
