In another thread, I was asked to post my full menu for the Shabbos lunch sheva brachos I am making in a few weeks for my niece.
It is very similar to the menu I used for a different Shabbos sheva brachos (which is posted here) almost 2 years ago.
We expect around 40 adults and 10 young children. Everyone is coming for the meal, no one just for dessert. There will be placecards for seating. There is one other hostess besides myself, but her participation is only financial. I am doing all of the work.
The planned menu is:
Wine-Grape Juice
Homemade Seudah Challah & individual rolls with dips (chummus, matbucha, maybe one more)
Plated appetizer of teriyaki salmon skewers over angel hair pasta & snow peas
3 salads in bowls on the table: broccoli salad; coleslaw & Israeli salad
Main course served family style:
chopped liver
cholent with kishka
corned beef
schnitzel
potato kugel (hot overnight in oven)
cranberry/apple crunch
Plated dessert of assorted miniatures (pareve cheesecake muffins, canolli, black forest cups & raspberry bars) with some sliced fruit on the side of the plate.
We're using real linen tablecloths and napkins. Probably (but not 100%) we're using nice plastic plates and the plastic "silver" flatware. I have a cleaning lady to wash pots, clean up, help serve and clear).
Centerpieces are probably bud vases with fresh flowers. I'm may be making simple napkin rings of mini-silk flowers.
We're buying soda and will also have pitchers of water on the table.

That has more to do with where I live than the fact that I want to do it that way. While Chicago is a very big full service frum community, the catering/take out/baked item selection, quality and pricing is very, very different from what is available in NY.
If you want to do something really nice, you need to do it yourself.

For the pareve cheesecake muffins, I kind of combined a few things I found online with some of my own ideas.
The basic cheesecake recipe is:
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (I used Tofutti
3/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
I crush vanilla sandwich cookies in the food processor. I lined the mini muffin cups with foil liners. I put a spoonful of the cookie crumbs in each ones. I mixed some caramel chips into the cheesecake mixture and filled the cups with that. I baked for 15 minutes at 350. When cooled I removed the liners and drizzled them with pareve caramel topping. Obviously you could use whatever flavorings/toppings you'd like.
The canolli were very simple. I bought the Presidor canolli shells. I beat Rich's Whip with instant vanilla pudding (I'd say around 2 Rich's Whips to 1 box pudding) and filled the shells with it (using a pastry bag). I then dip the ends into melted chocolate (I used the shells that are already drizzled with chocolate over the cookie part). For something else, I used the solid chocolate shells with the same filling, left the ends open and drizzled the shells with both melted chocolate and melted caramel chips. There is also a recipe in the new BY cookbook for this using a slightly different filling, but same idea.

I don't care for the idea of the challah napkin rings -- especially for Shabbos when I clearly want it to look lake challah/lechem mishna set at the places.

And, BTW, this is nothing compared to what DD is doing (with my help and help of others) this week for her first DS's bar mitzvah. She is self catering all meals (for 80 people each meal) and the kiddush (for several hundred people).
Between this and the sheva brachos I feel like I've been baking & cooking constantly almost since Pesach.

They come in a few sizes -- I've see 8", 10" & 12". I bought the 10" ones. Crisscrossed they'll work well on the plates I'm using.
I am making thin slices from salmon filets and will thread them onto the skewers (which I will first soak in water for at least half an hour) and then cook per the recipe linked to above. I will have a small mound of angel hair pasta and a small mound of snow peas in the middle of the plate with the skewers crisscrossed over that and drizzled with the sauce.

Mazel Tov!
What's in the angel hair pasta salad that's served with the salmon teryiaki?
I'm serving it for a shabbos lunch, should I just serve a little piece of salmon or cubes (I'm thinking there'll be more sauce with cubes since they'll be individually glazed)?
