08/24/13 		For the pulled pork meal, for 12
pork- 4 pounds ready to serve, which starts with about 4 pounds raw boneless. However, I would suggest meatloaf sandwiches, or something else which is NOT drippy.
2 quarts each slaw, potato and pasta salad
sandwich fixings- 1/8 the amount for 100 from the sandwich page.

Premake 4 9x13 pans of assorted desserts/cobblers etc. These can go in the freezer

Dinner

Appetizers:
deviled eggs, 2 eggs per 3 persons
pigs in a blanket, 2 per person
fruit salad- do fruit trays, easier, keep better, less waste
bruschettas- 2 per person
mini quiche- 2 per person
Needs a lemonade or punch

boneless chicken breast in mushroom sauce
Consider doing a half recipe of either the orange dijon chicken or the chicken marsala from big pots. Both make 100 for the full recipe.

Add a baked rice pilaf with almonds or saffron, 4 pounds dry rice
12 pounds ready to cook vegetables
6 pounds bread or rolls, 2 pounds butter
An interesting extra dish such as spiced apples or peaches or artichoke hearts- 4 9x13 dishes

Dinner level coffee with the dessert, see the dessert page
