NIFR: Help me decide on a menu

madelyn07madelyn07 member
in Infertility

I'm starting to plan our student employee Holiday party. We are getting a spiral ham from Honey Baked Ham and two sides from them as well. I'm planning on getting rolls from a local bakery and we are doing a cake for dessert because we have quite a few seniors graduating in December (I know cake doesn't really go with the meal or the time of the year but it is partly a celebration of our graduating seniors as well).

Side options are:

garlic mashed potatoes

potatoes au gratin

sweet potato souffle

broccoli rice casserole

cinnamon apples

green bean casserole

mac and cheese

cornbread dressing

 

Which two do think would be most popular for a group of ~50 college kids?

 

TIA =)

 

TTC #1 since June 2008 *SAIFW*

    I would say potatos au gratin and mac and cheese. 

    If it were me and not considering college kids I would say sweet potato souffle and green been casserole. 

    Married 08.06
    Started TTC 05.08
    Me: Stage II endo, borderline high FSH
    DH: perfect
    1 lap, 5 IUIs = 4 BFNs and 1 c/p
    2 IVFs, 2 FETs = 1 BFN, 1 c/p, 1 ectopic and finally a sticky BFP in May 2011!

    1 FET in Aug 2013 = BFP!

    While these wouldn't be what I would choose, I would think for a large group of college kids, you'd want mashed potatoes and mac&cheese.  Those just seem the most general of the sides to choose from.  Good luck!
