Menu Ideas

I'ma always confused when I need to cook for more than me and TH. Confused on what to cook, the different combinations, how not to repeat the same main ingredient, balance the flavours, balance the time it takes so I don't end up staying in the kitchen the entire day - you name it.

Brunch at a friend's place

So I figured many of you may have the same confusions so I am going to create some menu plans for your home parties, kids birthday parties, general hanging out with friends, etc. Most of these are what I have done in the past so I know they work. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please let me a comment and I will add it in.

Work in progress, so stay tuned 🙂 Also, check the comments for some great non-vegetarian meal suggestions.
