NBR - Food for party?

[nikkilynn27]

Ok, I need ideas!  We are doing my older daughter's 3rd birthday on a Saturday at 3:00.  There will be 13 adults and 6 kids (ages 1 - 3).

What kind of food do you do for a 3:00 party?  We will have cake/cupcakes, beverages...but other than that I'm indecisive.

I will take all suggestions, bonus points for link or recipe!

The second pictures is enchilada roll ups. So good! Both are quick and easy. And relatively cheap.

tiny wieners and tell your H he inspired you. just kidding I couldn't resist ripping into him for being an ahole to you ;-)

Pizza is always a solid option.

Cowboy caviar is so good! If you serve something like this tho, I would do something else for the kids since it is pretty spicy. Maybe just plain chips and dip.

A veggie tray would be good.

This is an easy dip recipe for pizza dip.

Mix the 8 oz softened cream cheese with some italian seasoning. Spread in bottom of microwavable dish. I use a glass pie dish. Spread pizza sauce over that, then your favorite pizza toppings and then cheese. Microwave for about 3-5 minutes until hot. This is good served with tortilla chips, but really good served with breadsticks.

Cheese quesadillas would be fairly easy. You could put out salsa and sour cream.

Chips and dip are always good. I also love those cocktail meatballs you make in your crockpot with grape jelly and cocktail sauce. It sounds disgusting but somehow melds together and becomes amazing.

We're doing DD's 6th bday party on Sunday, and we're ordering pizza, veggies/dip, fruit tray, chips and dip. Cupcakes with Olaf decorated sugar cookies on top.

Mmmm a hot corn dip sounds amazing right now.

What about frito pie? That's kid friendly.

Taco salad is my go to party food
Spinach and artichoke dip is always good

And last time I had a party, we these little cups made from sugar cookie dough, filled with a cream cheese dip (cream cheese, powdered sugar, marshmallow fluff, cool whip and vanilla) and then fruit on top. They were gone super fast.

I've heard the cowboy caviar is amazing! Those enchilada roll ups look fun!

Are you doing any kind of theme for her party? I love to match the food I serve to the party theme. I like to plan parties, so I get a little crazy.

PB&J sandwiches cut in small triangles for the kiddos. I went to a party where they did that, it was simple and the kids loved it.

I don't know how much time or help you will have but fruit skewers are fun for kids and adults and you could put out Greek yogurt with honey as a dip

[kelsbels]

These are some of things we usually make: veggies, shrimp, spinach dip, chips and dip, cheese platter, buffalo chicken dip, chili dip, mini hotdogs, fried pickles, just to name a few.
