just pick your favorite food.what if other people like it too?its worth a try.
Veggies and dip. Cheese and crackers. Pickles,chips.Frozen chicken fingers from M&M's with ranch dressing on the side.Finger foods.
taco dip and chips, beef dip with bagel pieces, a veggie tray, chili cheese dip and chips, pasta salads, fruit salad, cheese and crackers, chex mix.
Sloppy joes and chips are always good and cheap. Tacos aren't to bad either.
Soy burgers, and fried or baked slices of sweet potato. Put alittle salt on the sweet potato and they are really good!! Also you could do a fruit salad. I have a recipe for something called Heavenly bananas:
Sauce:
1cup sour cream
1/2 cup lite cool whip
2 tbl orabge juice
dash of nutmeg
Cut two bananas per person and pour this sauce on it is delicious!!
no one likes a party w/ good economical food soget some diet soda and chips and u should be set. DO NOT GET LITTLE TRIANGLE SANDWICHES!!!!! so stupid......good luck!
You can Oder pizza.You can serve what ever they like/
Well First do you know the guest, are they from work ect, the safest way is serving healthy food, like fruit, veggies, crackers, cheese. If you want to serve a full out dinner I go with maybe something spicy like hot wings, and how people that eat that something bland. Just have a wide selection of foods so that people that can't eat one thing will like another.
Got a crock pot? Purchase some of those little links and get some BBQ sauce and let them simmer in your crock pot! Pretty tasty. Also depending on how much you want to spend, the deli department at your grocers have excellent party trays such as cheese and meat trays that aren't too expensive, even veggie trays. Or get you some variety of meats at your deli department and make your own. Buy some mini buns and let your guests make their own mini subs. And don't forget the cheese!...lol. Chips and dip are another favorite at parties along with variety of cheese and crackers. If you want something sweet I would suggest homemade brownies. Cookies are so plain anymore but a batch of homemade brownies are great! Have fun!
try making food pyramid foods
Just depends on the party your having most parties you have finger foods, like little sandwiches and the vegetable trays are always good because there healthy. Chips and Dips always keep the party going!!
try having a taco bar... it works great... and then for sides have chips and salsa... guacamole... and dessert nachos... and make pitchers of margaritas...
Here's what I usally do when throwing a party on a budget -
Chips and dip, veggies and dill dip, cheese, sausage and crackers, make up either a big pot of chili or make sloppy joes.
Or I will call the local pizza place and ask for the special of the day and get a few of those. Subs are also a good idea too.
For dessert make a tray up of differant cookies, brownies, apple slices with carmel dip.
Hope you have fun at your party.
Costco has really good cake (seriously way better than other store bought cakes) and they are big. I don't know how many people are coming but it will serve many and they are only $12.99 or something like that.
