ideas? Oct 23 feeding for a soup kitchen - I get reimbursed. I will be doing Western Bean Soup as a main dish. Orange ice cream dessert cups would be easy, but maybe something better - Cheffers... ideas?

This is not a PC event, something I am doing through church.

Dessert for 70 people, perhaps with a nutritious twist? Yogurt parfaits??
 
Apple Crisp! It's apple season, and I always feel like I'm feeding my family a fairly healthy dessert when it's apple crisp!
