Hosted last week, 4 PM to 7 PM. 16 people, 5 under age 6, rest late teens/adults:
veggie tray of carrots, celery, ranch dip and hummos latkes (traditional) with apple sauce and sour cream quiches (brocolli and cheddar, spinach and mozzarella) macaroni and cheese gelt I wish I'd offered a dessert but didn't thinking everyone would eat the chocolate coins. Maybe a bundt cake? (I can't make sufyiont myself and am not a fan of store-bought.) The kids seemed very happy with raw veggies and mac'n'cheese, but I'm wondering if I should have had a salad? Advice? |

| Seems like a skimpy menu for dinner time. |

| Why are you thinking about the past? Did people seem unhappy? |

| I would probably have added a fruit plate for dessert, maybe berries with whipped cream? Goes well with chocolate. |

| I probably would have added a fish dish to add substance to the dinner menu. |

| No need to dwell on the past. But I do think a dessert beyond gelt would have been nice. Really could have anything - cake (maybe a coffee cake in your case), cookies, brownies, fruit, cupcakes, etc. |

| Pp again - I don't think salad was necessary as you had spinach in the quiche. Maybe a few appetizers would have worked though. |

| OP here: everyone seemed happy, but I didn't feel like I served"enough". I'd thought the time would be 3-6, but after nap turned into more of a "dinner" party. Thanks for the input |

Don't dwell on it. We've all thrown parties and wished we had done something different. Happy Hannukah  !

How about a soup? Since you are doing dairy, no meat right? So perhaps a cabbage soup?

Ack, sorry, didn't realize the cabbage soup had meat in it!
