I’m having a large crowd
(At least it feels large for me who is preparing all food and guest rooms alone)

I was so proud that I finally have a menu with half the food cooked but I just realized that I also have to serve shalosh seudos (for 12 people)
Any good ideas?

Enough bilkes for everyone
Lots of dips/ salad
Reg greens salad, Tuna, Egg salad, potato salad, we save leftover dips for shalosh seudos
Pasta salad - keep the noodles separate until mixing so it doesn’t dry up
If you have leftover apple kugel/ crisp .. I sometimes serve my parve sides if needed
We have some cookies, cakes candy/chips/ tortilla chips, pretzels too

Mostly just using the simanim as salads and sides.

But we're making French toast for second night of Yom tov and Friday night. Probably with a fruit compote. Scrambled eggs if I get ambitious.

Ok.. so now I have to put pasta salad, egg salad on my list. And make sure I have rolls, veggies for salad etc
(I know it’s not a lot but for some reason it seems huge after 6 meals- and hosting too)

It's in miriam pascal site but I changed the dressing instead of onion mustard. I put Ketchup, honey, duck sauce, tiny mustard.

I sautéed pastrami with onions and garlic and add some spices and then these above sauces, and let it simmer, stirring, till it integrates. Pasta shells cook up and drain. Then fill with mixture. Drizzle some sauce on top. Bake.

Original is just saute the pastrami with the onions and after filling drizzle sauce on top. Not to cook with it I think. And then bake for a bit so sauce get combined. She had an onion mustard sauce but my family is not so fond of mustard so I make the sauce more sweet.

Tzimmes

Is simple zeese mayeren. Nothing fancy added.

Peel and slice carrots into round disc's.

I do thicker slices cutting with knife and cutting board and thinner slices with food processor. Combo of both.

Place carrots into a pot or pan, along with lots of oil, honey, sugar and pinch of salt. Keep stirring until cooked thru and carrots are soft.

I make big pot and then divide in small foil pans and freeze, for many meals in tishrei. I place foil pan onto hotplate for reheating for meals, and make sure to stir, when on hotplate so that bottom doesn't burn.

So I either use a large stock pot let cook and don't need to stir that much, this year I did in a large wok pan so it's easier to stir and they get more crispy.

Thanks! Do you think I can make this on yom tov on the blech

Just saw this message, yes you need to cook the noodle first. Then divide whole mixture into pans of your choice if you don't want it ina9×13.
