Hi there,
Next weekend I am having an open house party for family and godparents of my LO - there will be about 18 adults and 6 children.
I have opted for open house as there is no way I could seat or serve up a meal for all of them at the same time.
As it is over lunch time and it is a Sunday I want to do something hot - that can sit on the hob and be dished out when everyone wants it (hopefully at different times throughout the afternoon). There is enough seating for about 8 but if everyone turns up at the same time which I bet they will some will have to perch on the sofa. So the food needs to be easy to keep and easy to eat.
I am kinda thinking of Jacket potatoes - that can just sit in the oven cooked on a low heat and then maybe a chicken and veg currie (mild) and a beef casserole and then maybe some sausages and beans for the kids (all under 5). We have no veggies
What do you think? or am I missing something that could be a lot easier? I did think about a chilli instead of the beef casserole but then thought maybe 2 spicy dishes would be too much. Maybe I should be doing 3 dishes?
I am not doing a cold buffet or nibbles as I have already told people there will be a hot meal.
Any thoughts very welcome
Thanks
