My wife's 40th is next Wednesday. I'm surprising her by having a few of her friends over (outdoors and distanced) for drinks and dinner. I thought a good idea for a 40th would would be to have food that celebrates youth and make grown up versions of kids food.
Here's what I have planned at the moment:
Pigs in blankets - Italian sausage with peppers and onions wrapped in a french bread dough - based on this recipe
Short rib mac & cheese
Gochujang chicken fingers
Peanut butter and jelly borekas - PB&J stuffed puffed pastry
Loaded tater tots with cheese, bacon, sour cream and chives
Root beer floats with a shot of bourbon
I'm doing the shopping tomorrow so I have some time to change my mind so if anyone has some other ideas, I'd love to hear them before I finalize my plan. I'll have some time to prep Thursday and Friday before cooking Saturday.
I had considered some fancy grilled cheese sandwiches, but it seems like cheese overkill with the mac and cheese.
