Having people over, what should I make?

[Anonymous]

Evergreen question! Maybe 10 people, adults and kids, a couple vegetarians but not other food restrictions. I'm not too worried about the kids because I'll get some party pizza and make a fruit salad.

What should I make? [I want to have something in addition to pizza, no chili, taco bar, baked potato bar.]

I'd make some kind of interesting hearty salad, with some vegetarian protein incorporated (nuts or something similar) and assume that most people will have it with pizza.

With today’s weather maybe a soup or stew? Homemade bread if that’s something you are comfortable making it.

This is what I want to eat today. Hearty vegetarian stew, homemade bread, Kerry gold butter, leafy salad, and brownies for dessert.

Jambalaya (not easy to make veg though)

NP- thank you! I clicked on this just for the enchilada sauce part. Will definitely be making this in the future. Seems like a no fuss way to have an entree in advance, ready to go.

Grain salad - like a freekeh or farro but with a lot of greens and vegetables. Maybe some marcona almonds and those tiny mozzarella balls. Actually you could probably do that as a “bar’ to some extent, too, so people can customize. One grain, two greens, a few topping options, two dressings.

Thanks everyone! I settled on red lentil soup, farro salad, homemade bread, lemon bars, and box of pizza strips. I didn't do baked ziti because one of the families made lasagna last time I was at their place, so didn't want to copy and I love spinach pie but no one else seems that enthusiastic when I make it.
