1st birthday party food

[2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)]

What did you do

[krispy83]

I got a bunch of rolls, meats, cheeses, and various other sandwich stuff. Also made pasta salad and a big green salad. I had veggies, chips and dips out when the party started and then brought the rest out around noon (an hour in to the party). And then, of course, cake and ice cream!!!!

Our theme is winter onederland, so we're doing two kinds of chili. I'm also going to have baby carrots and ranch as a melted snowman. We'll also do a hot chocolate bar. I know we'll have marshmallows, but I'm not sure what else to put out.

I'm not sure what else, but I found some cute idea on pinterest. I need to figure out which easy ones to do.

We are doing a butterfly theme so some of it is themed. DD is also allergic to dairy, egg, and nut and I wanted her party to be safe for her so I had to get a little creative.

- Sandwiches (sun butter and jelly, turkey, and cucumber with hummus)
- Cocktail Sausages with Butterfly shaped crescent rolls
- Butterfly (bow tie) pasta salad
- fruit cut in shape of flowers in flower pot
- veggie tray with hummus
- caterpillar grapes
- cupcakes

We had it in a private room at a restaurant but here's what we had:
For apps- chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, cheesy garlic bread. Then we had salad- strawberry pecan and caesar. All the pizza. And cake and cookies.

Pizza or sandwiches are easy and most people really like them. I've catered parties with Jimmy johns platters before and it's always a big hit.

How about blue jello cut in squares to look like ice cubes/blocks! Or jigglers cut in the shapes of snowflakes (cookie cutters)?

And for your hot chocolate bar- peppermint sticks, chocolate sticks/spoons, cinnamon shaker, whipped cream cans.

Aww, we did that for DS's second. :-) A lot of those same foods. Pluto's Puppy Chow was also a favorite.

We did chicken salad sandwiches, veggies, fruit and chips. Simple stuff. I cut out the fruit with a star cookie cutter to go along with the theme, and was going to do more star shaped food but just didn't have the time.

Omg, I always forget about muddy buddies. I want those now! maryxc1

We did it at a restaurant in a private and just did pizza. It was cheap and easy.

I'm doing rainbow fruit and veggie platters. Fruit will be strawberries, clementines, pineapple, kiwi (DD loves it), blueberries, purple grapes. Veggie will be red pepper/orange/yellow bell peppers (more of DD's favs), broccoli and green olives (ew, but DD loves them), purple cauliflower if I can find it, dips like clouds at the end of the rainbow. Also costco sandwich platters, chips, and punch and booze. Mom and MIL are in charge of the drinks. And cake, of course. I'm fighting the urge to make all the food myself, bc I know better than to take it on. I'll be a crazy person.
