Was wondering what kinds of things you have served at your own Open House events? Also how many different things? Thanks in advance!
 
My open house is today - I have 30 RSVPs yes, to kind of give you an idea of how many people I'm serving:

Cran-Raspberry Fizz
2 batches of Jerk Chicken Nachos
Peppery Pecan Brie
mini-BBQ pork tenderloin sandwiches (I'm demoing this about mid-way through)
Pumpkin Trifle (it was a gingerbread pumpkin trifle but I couldn't find gingerbread cake mix, so I used spice cake)
Double batch of Double Chocolate Cinnamon Dip w/ Cinnamon Chips
Warm Nutty Caramel Brownies
Spritz Cookies

Hope that helps!
 
The runaway hit at my Fall Event? Brownie Truffle Bites!

How can I accommodate guests with dietary restrictions?

To accommodate guests with dietary restrictions, consider offering a variety of food options, including vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free choices.
