Monday, May 19th, 2008
strtat2 asked:


I am thinking about doing a cold cut platter (in addition to other things including a tray of baked ziti and a tray of sausage and peppers, appetizers, salads, etc.). There are about 20 people attending and I would have American and Swiss Cheese, turkey, ham, salami. How many lbs of each cold cut should I get? Is that a good selection?

Monday, May 19th, 2008
karen a asked:


My daughter turned one week ago. I started to give her solid food like we eat such as bake ziti, mashed potatoes, applesauce etc but she wont eat and spit them out. She doesnt want to drink whole milk either, she still wants to drink her toddler formula. I dont know what to do with her. Any suggestions? could I delay her solid and switching of whole milk? i got tempted to give her formula bec she wont eat nothing. she would cry over the formula. what should I do?

Different kinds of party food?

Thursday, May 15th, 2008
Sharon H asked:


I need some food suggestions for a party of about 30, with people of all ages. I’m already making baked ziti, meatballs, mac and cheese, and chicken with rice. I also have a few dips to put out before, but want maybne one or two more pans of food.
does anyone have any suggestions? Something easy that I can make the day before, then just throw in the oven to heat would be perfect!
Thanks!

I want to bring something that’s easy to make and transport, but not the usual suspects like lasagna or baked ziti. Any suggestions?
