It's not a full meal, but people need to be (somewhat) full. Most won't eat dinner first. Grapes and water crackers won't cut it.

But you do need more substantial food, especially since you are serving drinks.


Then it will forever be remembered as the holiday party that not only served jumbalaya, but served it in styrofoam cups.
Its not a cookout.


Oh, whatever, there are plenty of festive serving options. My point was it is as easy as finger food to eat while standing at a cocktail party.


Its really hard to hold a plate, bowl, and drink while standing or sitting anywhere but a table.

Go to Trader Joes. Buy 10 packages of appetizers. Heat and serve.
