I am hosting a birthday party for my 8 year old next weekend, what should I serve?

Question

I want something that I can sit out, not having to worry about keeping it warm. A cold dish that adults and children can enjoy. I was thinking hot dogs, a large fruit salad and something else as an alternative to hot dogs. What else can I serve? The weather is expected to be sunny, low 90's, so I need some ideas. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

potatoe salad, pasta salad, sandwiches, cheese and ham tortillas, quesadillas, chicken wings or chicken fingers

Answer 2

Taco in a bag! Mini bag of doritos with half the chips, taco meat, lettuce, tomato, and cheese. give them a fork and toss when done. my 7yr old loves these. also gross but kids seem to like it pickle pops, frozen pickle juice in a dixie cup with toothpick as a stem. dessert anything with chocolate!

Answer 3

A veggie/dip platter is good too ...* and a bean salad can sit out for hours (just open & drain cans of cut green beans, kidney beans, sliced carrots, garbanzo beans & mix with some Italian dressing - marinate for a few hours) .....*.For the fruit salad:  hollow out half of a watermelon, and put the cut melon & fruit back into the watermelon shell to serve it .....* Quiche is good, even if it's at room temp....

Answer 4

Meatballs.  Chicken strips on skewers.  Pork'n'beans.  Chili.  Mac'n'cheese.  Baby carrots.  Cheese cubes.  Bbq chicken drummettes.  Tater Tots (do those have to be eaten hot?).

Answer 5

i would order pizza. I wouldn't give the fruit salad to the kids cuz they mite not likeit...instead give chips or cookies?

Answer 6

spring salad..... rotini noodles mixed with antipasto (cut up meat and cheese) with italian dressing all over it ... i have it at all my kids' parties and there is never any left
