My baby is turning 6! I need some party food ideas :)

My MIL usually takes over the food for my kids' parties, she loves to do it.  She can't be here this year (they're from OOT) and I'm not sure what to make.  We usually have dinner; the only thing coming to mind is chilli.  Hoping for some other ideas as kind of a main course, nothing too complicated.  No hamburgers or hotdogs or take out.  There will be approx. 10 adults and 7 kids (ages 3 - 11).  I appreciate any ideas!

    crescent rolls with pepperoni and string cheese rolled up in them
    you could even have kids build their own with toppings and bake them all together. use colored toothpicks to differentiate which goes with each kid.

    Or, you could do similar, but make mini calzones using biscuit dough, roll each piece flat to a bigger circle, load up, fold dough half over and seal.

    Or, similarly, you could do build your own pizzas.


    BBQ shredded chicken
    BBQ pulled pork

    taco bar

    nacho bar

    baked/mashed potato bar (use martini glasses for mashed potatoes for fun)
     - this goes well with chili let me know if you want topping ideas

    Yes would love topping ideas please! Thank you!

  • I think chili is good. I don't know how many kids there will be, but (like PP said) you could do a little make your own pizza buffet table for them with the bread (like pitas or something) and toppings, then you could bake them for them. It would be a fun activity, I think.

  • I usually have a theme and work around that. It makes the menu easier, in a way! So...is there any theme? Pizza party, Italian restaurant, BBQ, Hawaiian, Rainbow, etc?

    Your daughter's favorite foods? 

    Enchilada casseroles?
