Host Appreciation Luncheon: Main Entree Ideas Needed!

[smilesarepriceless]

Saturday I am having a Host Appreciation Luncheon.....

So far I'll have 8 in attendance.....and I'm working on creating a menu..


I have the dessert picked out..but not the main entree.....

It's 1130am-1pm

Any thoughts on what would be a good combination as a lunch..

I"m thinking the Spinach Carbonara is one I'd like to serve...but what to serve w/ it?



DESSERT
Pineapple Upside Down Cake in the 12 inch skillet

I just did a lunch hour show and I made the Spinach Cabanera Pizza ahead of time and took it out of the oven as they arrived and the host made an italian type salad (romaine, black olives... kind of like the Olive Garden serves) and everyone loved it! Big hit, then we made a microwave cake for dessert. The show is at $860 and growing, closing today, 3 bookings... Good luck!

That sounds like a delicious dessert choice! As for the main entree, it really depends on your guests' preferences and any dietary restrictions. If you're looking for a hearty and flavorful option, the Spinach Carbonara sounds like a great choice. Some ideas for sides to go with it could be a simple salad with a vinaigrette dressing, roasted vegetables, or garlic bread. If you have any vegetarians in attendance, you could also offer a vegetarian option like a vegetable stir fry or a quinoa and roasted vegetable dish. Another option could be to do a build-your-own sandwich or wrap bar with various meats, cheeses, and toppings. Good luck with your luncheon!
