Teen Party Food Ideas?
What are some food and drink ideas for a teenage birthday party? I'm a great coook, but I'm also on a budget. It will be from 6-10, but there will be no sit-down meal. Basically, finger foods!!! Please help! Thanks
and to those who are great at party planning and have ideas, please check out my 2 most recent questions (other then this one).
THANKS!
Answers:
Party trays are good:
fruit tray, get a bunch of different fruits, apples, melons, strawberries, grapes. and you could get some yogurt fruit dip they sell in the produce aisle
veggie tray: celery, carrots, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, etc. and include a ranch veggie dip
cheese and cracker tray just buy two or three different types of cheese and get saltine and ritz crackers
to the cheese tray you could add summer sausage, ham, turkey or any other kind of cold cut and cheese logs are pretty good too.
You could mix and match these trays ie. use the veggie tray and the cheese with sausage one to make a pretty good meal.
You could set a nacho bar up. put out prepared taco meat,cheese, re-fried beans, jalapenos, sour cream, etc.
for the easiest thing you could always just order pizza!
For drinks there is always cans of coke or you could do punch
Here is a good one:
2 pkgs. Kool Aid (red, green or orange)
46 oz. can pineapple juice
1 liter Mountain Dew or 7-up
2 qt. sherbet (red, green or orange)
Mix Kool Aid according to directions on package. Add pineapple juice and soda. Just before serving add sherbet..
Nachos are always good!! Everyone loves the puppy chow recipe from Rice Chex, Rice Crispy treats, make a dessert fruit pizza!! I'm getting hungry so this is just stuff I like lol

cheese tortias's- get two tortia's put chredded cheese on one spread it around and put the other tortia on top and put it in the microwave.

like they wrote, nachos are great, chips & dips. maybe you could make sandwiches, like ham & turkey & cheese you could use rolls or even a good white bread & cut them in quarters. good luck
pizza. . . always a favorite
Go to the Dollar Store to get what you need. everything there is a dollar,an there are teenager they eat anything. Yes, they have snacks and food at the store it cheap.
~Make your own tacos or Nachos.
~Chips and homemade dips
~You can crockpot little smokies or meatballs in a crockpot by adding a jar of grape jelly and a jar of BBQ sauce
~Sausage cheese balls
~Chicken fingers or nuggets with dipping sauce
~meat and cheese tray with crackers
~You can go to a wholesale store and they have boxes of premade appitizers at reasonable prices
pizza; nachos, wings, 6-ft. hero; hot dogs, burgers
popcorn, everyone loves the smell of popcorn even if it doesn't sound that good, pizza, nachos, a pile of french fries with cheese and chili, pizza rolls, bagel bite pizzas, cookies, get it all at discount store and make it look like brand name items.
when it is all over, you get a bottle of wine or your fave vodka to relax and be proud of yourself.....LOL
KFC has the best party packs, with alot of different choices and the prices are very reasonable. You can also have some chips & dip, salsa & tortillas, pretzels, popcorn & a few bowls of candy. Throw some paper plates & plasctic forks & spoons and your done. It will go over really well. OH and clean up, eveything comes in its own disposaable containers, so you can just toss it or wrap up leftovers! GOOD LUCK!
PIZZA!
Pizza Rolls--they come in bulk and are irresistable to teens!
cheese salsa dip: brown 1 lb hamburger, add 1 box velvetta cheese and one jar pace salsa heat it in the crock pot till the cheese is melted, stir and serve with nachos , mini pigs in a blanket: little smokies sausages, wrap each in 1/2 of a cresent roll and bake till the roll is browned fruit fondue, melt white and dark chocolate, and cut fruit into 1 inch cubes to dip
TRI SOME PIGS IN BLANKET TEENS LUV EM I KNOW I DO.
RECIPE ( HOT DOG CRECENT ROLLS CHEESE) U DO THE MATH.
Looks like you are getting alot of terrific ideas....some that I like and have worked well for me are:
corn chex salty mix (I just tried the chocolate version that just came out.....talk about yummy) so you could have savory as well as sweet.
the meatballs in grape jelly and BBQ sauce dip is always a hit.
you can make english muffin individual pizzas, where you have all the stuff out and ready and each can make their own. (pretty cheap)
Fruit platters (1 watermelon would feed 15 or more)
Mexican dip w/chips (crm cheese, layer of refried beans, salsa, cheese, olives and tomatoes topped with cheese and sour cream dabs)
Do you have a theme? That would help you get started and then the food would fall into place. A girl BD or a guys BD ??? Have fun.
Have each of the kids bring something they like to eat...that would help your budget.
Tacos are always a hit with my kids. Cheap to make and easy to cook!
