DH's bday party menu

Ok this this is what i have on the menu...tell me if you think its enough for about 20+ people! (how im going to fit 20+ people in our itty bitty apt i have no idea) oh yeah but its suppose to snow sooooo prob will be way too much food cuz nobody will show up!! IT ALWAYS SNOWS WHEN I TRY AND PLAN SOMETHING THAT REQUIRES PEOPLE TO TRAVEL!!! UGH!!

anywhoo!

ok i ordered:
6ft hero half italian half american
with potato salad, macaroni salad, and coleslaw
(i was just going to to appetizers at first but i wasnt sure if i would have time to do everything!!
making:
Mini Sliders
(my first atempt at this i got that infomercial slider maker for my shower and never used it)
cheddar cheese sausage balls
made them before i know they are yum!
Taco Cups
its basically taco dip already in tostedos scoops, like individually already dipped..with refried beans, taco meat salsa sour cream, topped with an sliced olive.
Cheddar cheese pepperoni puffs
never made these before either so im nervous they wont come out right!
then i have, chips gallore, onion dip, salsa...etc
my mom is making:
a veggie and dip platter and buffalo chicken dip
my SIL is bringing
spinach dip in a bread bowl

then im baking:
chocolate cake, red velvet cup cakes, chocolate chip cookies and brownies

i have such anxiety about this and DH pretty much knows about it already! I dont wanna ask him to help because he is a chef and whatever will take over and i want people to know that i can cook and host a fab party by myself!!!!!!!!! i just wanna look like a good housewife and im nervous im not going to get it all done!!!

and how much beer should i get! im use to just have chris friends come over who bring their own all the time?? 3- 18 packs good?

OMG thanks, Jess...now I'm SO hungry! I think it looks like plenty of food. Do you have room for one more???

Quick question -

CAN I COME?

Holy crap - sounds so good!

I think 3 18 packs would be OK but usually people will bring stuff with them. (I say usually because DH's friends NEVER do. But we always do.)

his friends are actually really good with bringing beer!! (thats all they ever bring tho lol) we usually have extra beer for weeks after we have a party, but most of his friends are coming later, and alot of family are coming so i wanna be prepared not be like oh the beer will be here later? lol!

i got DH an 18 pack of miller lite cuz thats his fave,
ill get another 18 pack of coors light cuz my dad, brother and his brother drink that...then i was thinking about getting like a mikes hard lemondaid 12 pack...hmmm decisions descions! ugh!

1.sounds yummy..really yummy

2.i used the slder thing b4 and they came out great!!!!!!

3.im coming over

You have more than enough.. it all sounds amazing. If you need help getting rid of leftovers let me know!!

here it the recipe!!

Cheddar Sausage Bites

Ingredients:

1 pound bulk pork sausage
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup cheddar cheese
2 table spoons of Dijon Mustard
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme (or red pepper flakes for a spicier verson) --i use the red pepper!
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped

(also you can add some chopped dried cranberrys)

Preheat oven to 350F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl combine all ingredients. Shape mixture into twenty-four 1 1/2 inch ball and arrange on prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake until cooked through and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm or at room temperature
(with cranberry sauce for dipping if desired)

That all sounds soooo good!!! ::mouth is watering:: It's too close to lunch. Haha.

And that beer should be enough, we usually get less and always have so much left over. And if you need more you can always go get it.

so, I can come too right?

Would you mind sharing your recipe for the cheddar sausage balls? There's nothing better than cheddar and sausage, especially in ball formation LOL.

you are so funny!! i can't wait to meet you at the luncheon!!

anyway, OMG! what an incredible menu!!! i felt like a rock star when i heated up the mini quiche from costco! everything sounds delicious!!! and yes, i agree that's enough beer. we also tend to over-buy and then get left with way too much beer!!

Yeah I definitely think you have enough food. At first I thought it might be to much but now with all of us coming over too, its just enough!!!!
Sounds delish...good luck
