[QUOTE="SRL, post: 33919, member: 701"] Thanks for the ideas everyone! I'm copying this thread to my recipe section so I'll have it for future reference. DDD I love the cupcake holder idea for the sweet potatoes and will definitely give it a try with another menu. I wound up doing some searching and found a cheesy potato recipe and trialed it and found it will work if I dress it up with some onion and maybe extra seasoning. I'd love to be able to set up the night before but I have a long haired black cat who knows no shame so set up will have to be at the very end. My plan is to make all the foods that can be done ahead and if everything goes well I should just be left with my chicken dish and wild rice medley at the end. I'd love to bring rolls hot out of the oven but with only one oven I won't be able to pull that off...I think. This sort of feels like my "entertaining comeback" if you know what I mean. Before kids and especially before difficult child I used to have people in at the drop of a hat--single friends for pie on a Sunday afternoon when I was single, bringing random people home from church after services, Easter brunch for friends remaining in town, etc. That all came to a screeching halt when I was working with a new baby and difficult child was so difficult those early years I did just the obligatory events and then when his anxiety flared I quit altogether, and since then the house never is company ready anymore or anywhere near it. I've made a ton of carry out meals for families in need but nothing like this in years. I'm doing beverages, meat, potatoes, wild rice and homemade rolls with easy child Sr. doing a cheesecake and everyone else bringing the rest. In fact I just put in the roast beef! [/QUOTE]
