Foodies - hors d'oeurves planning
I love how this has become a part-time Foodies board!
I'm having about 25 people over tomorrow for our tree-trimming, and I'm having a hard time projecting out how much to make. Menu is as follows:
peppered beef/goat cheese crostini
fancy pigs in blankets (chicken andouille sausage in puff pastry!)
Bruschetta with Spicy Chickpea Pur?e
Asparagus Parmesan Pastry Rolls
white bean/garlic hummus with crudite
baked goat cheese / pesto
baked brie
oatmeal-chocolate revel bars
butterscotch spiders
cranberry G&Ts
beer/wine
maybe apple cider, but no one ever drinks it
It is feeling a little light to me, but it's gonna be tough to pull this off anyway, b/c my hubz is taking the redeye home tonight after a week in Japan :-P
This is a similar menu to what we did last year, but I had one additional appetizer -- spicy bacon wrapped pineapple chunks. Yum. We had some leftovers, nothing overwhelming. But, we had almost 40 people.
So, how does this look? And do you have any guidelines for scoping out the # of hors d'oeurves to do per person?
I'm-a gonna be a busy girl tonight!
Re: Foodies - hors d'oeurves planning
Sounds great, I am really hungry now.
Oh and next time I would appreciate these type of parties when I am actually in DC. TIA!!!!
I'd probably make 50 of each individual thing, like the pigs in a blanket.
Ditto the suggestion for a couple bowls of nuts or olives. People like to nibble. Or this, which I have not made, but have had bookmarked forever:

Other than that, I think it looks great! Be sure to tell us how it goes!
Thanks, ladies!
Mere, I asked you via email when you're here next, but I know gmail has been weird. Anyway, if you're here over Christmas, hit me up. I'm actually staying in town for the first time ever!
