Pfffffewww- Updated

I've finalized the menu for Bret's party and now I'm so not stressed out!! I love cooking so everything will be homemade (except for the chips). YUMMY!
  • Pulled pork sandwiches
  • Chicken bites (for the kids)
  • Mac 'N cheese (for the kids)
  • Napa cabbage salad
  • Spinach and artichoke dip (with homemade garlic pita chips)
  • Cold veggie pizza
  • Fall fruit salad (made with Golden delicious apples, Bosc pears and green grapes)
  • Tortilla pinwheels (turkey and ham)
  • Chips

Dessert will be yellow and chocolate cupcakes frosted and decorated with fall-colored sprinkles. I'm going to be way too busy to cut cake so guests are getting cupcakes (plus less clean up and *hopefully* less leftovers). I'm going to make Bret's cake - a recipe I found made out of semi-sweet chocolate and chick peas (instead of flour). He needs the fiber anyway. LOL! I've tried it and it tastes like a "regular" chocolate cake to me. He won't know the difference. The cake will be lightly frosted with white frosting and decorated to look like a baseball.

To wash everything down we'll have:

  • Soda
  • Bottled water
  • Coffee / tea
  • Milk or juice (for the kiddies) - HEAD: where did you get the small milk containers?

Let's see - now what can I stress out about?! LMAO

great menu! I love cupcakes so I'm partial to your dessert choice. :) You can't go wrong with yellow cupcakes and chocolate frosting.

Yummy....you are such an over achiever making everything yourself. Please e-mail me or post the artichoke recipe. I still haven't found a good one and have tried to make it a couple times. Also, how are you making the chick bites for the kiddos?
