Food ideas please....yes another birthday party post ;-)

Hi ladies,

We're basically having 2 parties: one at an indoor playscape, and then some people will be coming back to our house.  We're providing pizza for the adults as well at the playscape.  What would you provide as food for the house?  I thought of doing finger foods, but sometimes I think making real meals and putting them in aluminum pans is a lot easier.  I thought of baked ziti, rolls and salad and maybe a few other things.  Ideas?  Fyi.....there will probably be some family members who didn't go to the playscape but will be at the house after.  TIA!

    What about  fruit & veggie trays if they did eat earlier?  I think pasta sounds great.  I would probably do alfredo sauce though just to avoid staining kids clothes.

    What about rolled sandwiches and some salads (pasta, potato, etc).  Depending on how many people sometimes the last thing I want to do during a party is heat up the house by turning on my ovens.

    Very good point!!  We always like Croissants and meat/cheese trays.

    You could always order one of those really long submarine sandwiches and then have fruit and veggie trays.

    I would do what other people have suggested - fruit and veggie trays, and a sandwich platter of some sort.  You could also add a hot dip if you wanted.

    We served a southern menu. I made pulled pork in slow cookers and made Paula Deen's Mac&Cheese the night before so it just had to be reheated the day of the party. I also made a large pan of corn bread. The guests raved about the food and it was super easy and inexpensive!
