What can I make to eat?

For a get together of about 15 people?

I'm tired of pizzas, sandwiches and spinach dip...

I need some new ideas...

Things that are easy to serve...(Example: Baked ziti might be a bit easier than say, tacos...)

Thanks!

Tacos are tough, but quesadillas are easy. I like to make finger foods for my family at the holidays. Like chicken fingers, pigs in blankets, beef satay, potstickers.

I also made baked penne with turkey meatballs, which was a huge hit.

We recently had about that many people over for a get together..my FH made stuffed shells, sooo good...we also had another tray of meatballs and sausage along with rolls if they wanted to make a sandwich.

We also put out a huge antipasta tray...cheeses, pepperoni, olives, artichokes, breadbowl with dip, garlic bread etc...

It was basically an italian food night but worked out really well..everyone loved the food and for the most part it was all easy to make. OH and i served a huge ceasar salad too...

Hmmmm sausage and peppers on Italian bread

I also love to make sausage and/or spinach bread. Just buy a pizza dough and roll it out, take Italian sausage (hot or sweet, whichever you prefer) out of casing and brown, spread sausage over dough, sprinkle shredded mozzerella, roll up and shape into a horse shoe. Brush with olive oil and bake.

For the Spinach bread, I get another pizza dough. Mix drained and thawed frozen spinach with ricotta cheese, add salt and pepper. spread over dough and sprinkle with mozzerella. Roll up, brush with olive oil and bake. Just make sure this one cools a bit before you cut it, otherwise it's a MESS!

FH and I have a quesadilla maker. It makes quesadillas in 3 minutes, really easy. you can weither make them ahead of time, or buy lots of tortillas and put out a bunch of different ingredients and part of the fun cna be everyone making their own quesadillas. The maker is about $30

some ideas would be.

black beans,
cheddar cheese
jack cheese
chopped tomatoes
onions
mozzarella (you can make an italian style one with the tomatoes and mozzerella..so good!)
peppers

with the pepeprs and onions, either get the canned ones, or slighly pre cook them ahead of time. The canned ones come out fine.

Sounds like a party! We should have an LIW pot-luck!

I thank you for the ideas and will continue to welcome more! Thanks!!
