Should I serve An Appetizer?

[Jodi1980]

I am making lasagna for my teenage daughter and some friends tomorrow - should I serve an appetizer? If yes, what should it be?

I would serve lasagna with garlic bread parm and maybe a salad too as the appetizers, then meatballs as a side dish(I make meatballs when I make my sauce so I would have them anyway).

What a good mom you are to do this for them.

salad or cheese sticks......yummy

I usually have a caesar salad before and garlic bread with lasagna. Sounds yummy, I haven't made lasagna in a while!

Not sure what teens like....they aren't allowed in our house (LOL)!!

I would serve an antipasto tray with veggies, olives, mozzarella chunks, breadsticks or melon with prosciutto, salami curls....whatever you think they may like.

Salad, garlic bread, and lasagna...sounds like a plan! Add some wonderful dessert like spumoni, cannoli, tiramisu....whatever works for teens. Our local grocery sells all kinds of mini desserts...if you have something like this near you, you could get a nice mix.

Good luck.....buy some chianti for mom after the party!!

Maybe some brushetta. Very yummy and easy to make.

Yes you should serve an appetizer. You should also invite me over!


Go with Caesar salad and garlic bread.

I'm thinking of the Olive Garden where they give you wine...but

Maybe some sparkling grape juice in place of wine- since they are not "legal."

Thank you!

I brought some small meatballs and cheese cubes for the appetizer, will serve garlic bread with the dinner and got cupcakes for dessert!
