Maria, both high school and college students are big eaters and if I were doing this menu as a dinner for 200, I would do quite a bit more; in fact, just about double, except the rice, 20 pounds about right for that. The dips are 1/4 cup each per person, 1 pound chips per 8-10. The fruit is several platters, see the fruit tray page. |

Yes, Maria, I do think your menu is very light; the teens/high school age kids balance out the little ones. 8 pounds of green beans is good for about 35 people. |
