Help with NYD menu
Ok, I'm gearing up for the big day and I need some help. I usually do some sort of meat and rolls for sandwiches, mac & cheese, pork & sauerkraut, and various apps. I'm thinking about skipping the pork this year. Thoughts?
Meatballs
Roast beef (w/rolls)
Crockpot mac & cheese
Baked brie
0602's pretzel dip
Buffalo chicken dip
Any other ideas? Should I make a ziti? I feel like I need another side bu then that feels like a lot of pasta.
Keep in mind that we're the end of the parade route, so by the time people get to my house at 5-6pm, this is all drunk food to fill people's bellies. That's the only reason I don't have a salad or anything on there but I guess I could add it?
Re: Help with NYD menu
Def a veggie tray. They have them for $7.99 in BJs with dip included if you are a member there. I think your menu is fine.
Here's mine this year:
italian roast pork (with mini rolls)
mac n cheese in crock
hot dogs and sauerkraut
tomato pie
and either vegetarian or vegetable soup (whichever my friend decides to make)
then I will probably do hoagie dip and the girls are bringing bean salsa, spinach dip, canolli dip and I will have cookies and mini brownies
so many people come and go all night and usually bring food with them so I think this is more than enough. more importantly how much beer??? i think i need to grab a few cases besides the wine since its a very long night ahead of us

What about Champagne? Need the bubbly to celebrate if the Jokers come in first again.....

True. Hmm maybe I can make it the day before and then just reheat. I'm trying to conserve time. Or do the hot dog thing - drunk people will love hot dogs, right?
Kel - your menu looks great. The italian roast pork is a good one. Instead of just deli roast beef in aus jus I was thinking about doing this recipe - http://thehappyhousewife.com/cooking/crock-pot-french-dip-sandwich/
Thought it might be something different. What do you think? I'm still trying to find the perfect beef recipe.
And for beer - I think the hubs has it covered. We have so much beer in our basement, it's ridiculous. I thought you were supposed to drink beer, not collect it I've told him.
I got a couple of bottles of bubbly for me -- I may need to run out and get more. DH's bday is the 30th, then NYE, then NYD.... it's going to be a long couple of days!
for parties, I usually just go to Dad's Stuffing and order the roast beef. they cook it fresh and give you a container of gravy for each pound. All you need to do is throw it in with the gravy and heat and it's delicious

We do a pork loin but if you go with hot dogs then get the mini pigs in a blanket. They're always a huge hit!
Is there some secret beer hoarding club that I don't know about? Because my hubs totally does this too!
lol...i was just going to say the same thing
we are doing a crock pot of meatballs and i'll likely bake ziti.
leftover candy/cookies/cakes for dessert.
nuts, chips and dips.
a case of canned beer and a bottle of wine.
we are having the drunkies come over as well.
