Foods to serve at first birthday party?
It will be at 2:00 in the afternoon and we'll be serving finger foods, followed by cake and ice cream. I want to keep it easy because I'll be doing it all myself. Any suggestions?
Answers:
At my sons 1st birthday the kids didn't eat much but it's nice to make things that are safe for them to eat as well. I made jello jigglers(aka finger jello) and made potluck kind of finger foods. Such as meatballs, 7 layer taco dip and a meat and cheese tray. As the big day will be hectic all of these can be made ahead. The meatballs can be made the day before and reheated in a slow cooker the morning of the party. I included links for some of the recipes. I hope this helps.

mostly finger food like french, chicken nuggets, juicey-juice, maybe a little salad for healthy choices
to be seriou you should just keep i tsimple for the lil kids
msyb you should just put out chip, punch, cookies, cup cakes ok by teel who ever b=day to hav e a good one
chicken fingers, taquitos, pizza, nachos, hot dogs. You can always go to Costco and buy some of their frozen snacks and all you have to do is throw them in the oven.....
you will be lucky if the kids will sit still enough to eat. . I did pizza. then I did bbq.(.she had two parites) I dont recall her eating anything expect the cake and ice cream..finger foods is a good idea..also. instead of a big cake try cup cakes and little cups of ice cream..have fun! the first bday is the best!
What to serve at a child's birthday party depends on the timing of the party. If you're having your event around lunch time, serving lunch would be appropriate but not necessary.
In general, one-year-old birthday parties are for close family members and friends where mixed age group of kids attending. I would consider the majority attendees -- if they are mostly grown-ups, mostly younger kids -- age 3 and under -- older kids or all of the above) and timing of the party before deciding on what to serve.
Generally, a serving cold cuts works perfectly for any children's events. Sit-down lunches are neither attractive to younger kids nor convenient for parents with young kids at a party atmosphere.
A cold cuts with cheese platter, baguettes and crackers and vegetable and fruit platters as well as salads are favorites of kids as well as grown-ups. Serving pasta dishes with vegetables or salads are other options.
My best advice is to keep it very simple and be aware of guests with food allergies, and special diets. (vegan, vegetarian, kosher etc.)
cheese paste sandwiches
Little cocktail sausages(without the sauce) would be good along with string cheese or cheddar bites, cheese straws, tiny peanut butter sandwiches with raisin s on them, any little sandwiches made with raisin bread and cut into thirds or fourths, carrot sticks, any crudites, chicken salad in a small icecream cone.
That's ok, but you and also serve somthing soft cuz some kids might not have teeth yet,something like tuna and crackers.Tell your child myself and 11/2 old daughter said have a great happy first birthday.
possum and grits, and buffalo jerky ..
i'd say you got all you need right there
All good. Considering that the majority of your guests will be teething, how about frozen bananas?
chicken
pizza
pasta
and sodas
You can have a juice bar and sandwich and pizza strips (you cut pizza and sandwiches into strips). that way kids can eat properly while they're playing.
JAPANESSE FOOD ......THE BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You should serve chicken tenders and sandwich squares!!!
I would keep it simple since it is after muchtime and before dinner. I personally like cupcakes for the kids and adults alike. It is easy and people can take it to go. I would skip the ice cream. Go with simple things like pizza, chips, dip, veggie plate. Things that you don't minf leaving out for people to snack on. You certaintly don't want to spend all yoru time in the kitchen so as simple as possible is best. I like the idea of juice boxes for the kids (a lot less mess) and just have a few liters of soda and water available for the adults.
Babies love to sushi, pickled herring, and some head cheese, YUMMY!
soup,hamburger,chicken,coke,th... is all
PIZZA OR BEEF HOT DOGS
Cookies, Chips, Sandwiches, and Fruit.
Vegetable pizza Just bake the crust which you can buy in the Pillsbury roll in your store near the biscuits,than after it cools spread cream cheese over the entire pizza than add finely chopped cauliflower,broccoli and carrots than put in Fridge to cool ,later slice in small squares and serve
I always go for the party sub, it's cheap, easy and every one loves them. Serve with easy to make salads, like pasta or coleslaw, and some snacks, like chips.
meat & cheese plate and a vegetable plate can't go wrong some cocktail breab keep it real lite.
