My Mum's Birthday Party. ***PICS ADDED***

[Bolanette87]

As a present for my Mum's birthday I said I'd give her a party at home and cook a buffet. I have three veggies and seven meat eaters coming. I've kind of decided on this menu for the party and was wondering what people thought?

- Dipping Platter: Garlic Mayo, Sweet Chili Dip, Lime Yoghurt, Tomato and Feta Salsa (Served with: Halloumi skewers, mini spring onion fritters, toasted pittas, and crudities.).
- Lime and Chili Slaw
- Mini Pitta Pizzas (Chicken, Pepperoni and mushroom)
- Garlic Prawns
- Steak and Blue Cheese Salad
- Sesame Chicken
- Mozzerella with Gremolata
- Anti-Pasti Platter
- Honey Mustard Chicken Wraps
- Veggie Wraps
- Roasted tomatoes with red onions
- Rainbow Ricotta balls (Balls of ricotta cheese rolled in crushed peppercorns, herbs, etc)

Any opinions would be appreciated!!

Can I come?

I'd get some tortilla chips in as well for dipping - you caan always et them yourself

I always do the Pampered Chef hot broccoli dip - even people who hate broccoli love this!

Ooo- Tortilla chips would be nice... And I do love them....

Whats the broccoli dip??

We've got a cake en route, but another wouldn't hurt!

I hope she enjoys it!

May be too late now but worth a try another time - we use 1/2 fat creme fraiche instead of sour cream

Looks gorgeous! Shall definately make that in the future!

Everything looks scrumptious and served so nicely - I found myself almost reaching into the screen for your fruit cup.

Hey, my birthday is May 30, can I be your adopted mum?

Bet y'all had a great time...

I'm not good at keeping them together... I'm good at hiding them falling to bits!

Thanks for all the positive comments guys!

I'll tell you something that helps though- Microwave the wrap for ten seconds before you wrap it!
