Critique my menu(s)
Menu #1- movie night with friends-
cocktails ( manhattan or tom collins and martinis)
Apps ( crockpot meatballs, jalapeno pepper jelly over a block of cream cheese with crackers, vegs/chips and dip) And, I debating between these two?
PW's bacon wrapped club crackers or bacon wrapped water chestnuts
Popcorn, peanuts and brownie bites too.
Menu#2 Dinner w/ILs
Apps: Cheeseball & crackers or the jalapeno jelly over a block of cream cheese like above menu.
Dinner: Turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, roasted brussels sprouts, sweet potato casserole, stuffing (stove top LOL).
SIL is bringing mac & cheese.
Dessert- Im not sure about.
ETA* these menus are back to back, meaning one is on a friday night, the other is for saturday. So, if you can suggest double duty stuff that would be awesome.
So, tell me what you like and what you dont. Anything I should add too 
Re: Critique my menu(s)
