I'm making 3 Cheese Garden Pizza, Chopped Salad and Dolce de Leche Bites for my Grand Opening tomorrow. Can I make the phyllo cups the night before? Can I also mix the filling the night before and add it in the morning? My party is at 12. I'm also chopping and cutting what I can so I'm not running around like a crazy woman tomorrow. I'm not demonstrating just serving. I have a 2 year old and 1 month old. I need it to be as easy as possible!!
 
I haven't made the Dolce de Leche Bites, so I can't help (sorry!)....but I didn't want you to feel that people were reading your post and then ignoring you.

Good luck tomorrow! Have fun!!!

You should be able to pre-chop your veggies for the salad and the pizza. And yes, make the philo cups ahead of time, just store them in an airtight container. You should also be able to make the filling ahead of time too, just don't fill the cups until tomorrow morning.

What ingredients do I need for the 3 Cheese Garden Pizza?

For the 3 Cheese Garden Pizza, you will need pizza dough, marinara sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and a variety of garden vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and spinach.

To prepare the Chopped Salad, chop your choice of fresh vegetables such as romaine lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, and bell peppers. Add in some chopped herbs like parsley or cilantro, and toss everything together with your favorite dressing. You can also include proteins like grilled chicken or chickpeas for added nutrition.
