Menu Ideas for a Crowd

  We just got back from spending the weekend at Angey's.  She had 22 people staying with her the whole weekend!!  She did the food so smart - it was easy and she wasn't cooking all weekend.  Wanted to jot down her ideas for the next time I have a house full.  Ideas with * are mine

Breakfasts:
Cereal (the individual little boxes worked great for kids, wouldn't work for teenagers)
Muffins (I like the mini ones - too much goes to waste with those big Costco ones)
Baked scrambled eggs
Fruit (a bag of frozen fruit - peaches, strawberries, pineapple) maybe 24 ounces? (Thaw over night)
Juice

Lunches:
Sloppy joes (warmed in a crock pot)
Chips
Veggie tray
*Sandwiches


Dinners:
Fried chicken - ordered from a grocery store
Potato salad
Pasta salad
Jello Salad
Green Salad
Chips
*Hamburgers/hot dogs

Desserts:
Pumpkin bars
Brownies
Zucchini bars
*Carmel bars
*Brownie bites

She brought in her big 5 gallon jug, put a block of ice in it, kept topping it off with water, and everyone could get cold water any time.  A big stack of cups with a Sharpie for names.
