Upsherin Menu Ideas

I am making an Upsherin IYH this week and I am looking for some ideas for dishes.
We are going to serve bagels, cream cheese, tuna, etc and I will make some zitis, quiches, and salads..
I just feel like I need some other Milcheg dishes.
Since it is on Sunday, I either have to freeze it or it needs to be easy enough for me to make right before..
Thanks people!

This is not the most exciting but people do seem to enjoy blintz soulless. I also once posted a french toast casserole. I served it at a brunch and it was gobbled up.

Just found that recipe...
I dont get it, you don't mush the whole thing together, so there is like a bottom layer and a top layer??
Also, can I freeze it?

Why thank you ra_mom. I always wonder if my name was something like carburetor mom, no one would want my recipes.

I want the party to be very kid-friendly, since it really just is a glorified birthday party.
I found these adorable frozen pizza crusts in the grocery, they are bite-size, 24 in a pack, I think I will throw marinara and cheese on top and the kids should love it.
I will make that french toast casserole after Shabbos IYH, and lasagna, baked ziti, broccoli quiche, farmer cheese latkes, cheese cakes... plus bagels and stuff. I have a tendency of overcooking, so I gotta watch myself here!
We are also going to let the kids decorate ice cream for dessert, plus a tzizis cake, cupcakes, and pekelach. I am very chilled out and want the kids to have a blast, even if it means my house will be upside down (it will happen either way, so I might as well enjoy).
My son insisted on "tasting" a pekela today to make sure his friends would like it!

cookielady, I prepared your your casserole recipe last night, and placed it in the oven this morning, when my husband got home from his trip to Israel. Thank you so much!
