What are some easy food and drink ideas for Jewish Shavuot?

My best friend sister just got married into a Jewish family; it was a great surprise to most of us that her husband’s family consented to the marriage. Now as the Jewish celebration, Shavuot comes up this month, she wants to invite the members of the family for a meal. She doesn’t know the right food or drink to serve them for this occasion, can anyone help out here?

"One of the most popular customs on Shavuot is to eat dairy foods such as cheesecake, cheese, blintzes and ice cream. " My upbringing, having a grandmother who grew up in and kept a kosher home, puts bagels and cream cheese in that category, as well as lox (smoked salmon) or whitefish salad or pickled herring falls into that category, too.

Shavuot is considerd a High Holy day. We eat dairy because there was no slaughtering of anuimals when we recieved the Torah for the first time.
So because of no slaughtering, only dairy and its non cooked kind was available. Milk, farmer cheeses, in some cases eggs. So tradition dictates a dairy diet. and those things that woudl not be considerdd meat from an animal. sucha s almonds, olives,fruits like dates figs, sesame seed cakes etc were all that was eaten while we learned of the laws and the torah.
On Kashruth law: or kashruth halacha Cheesy Tuna Casserole would not be considered Kosher by any means. You are combining milk and some sort of meat.
