Easy easy easy. You can even do pulled pork nachos if you want :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-party#post-1874291 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 12:00:42 +0000 LuLu Mom 1874291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well a possible change of plans, my mom just called me and said my dad has 10 lbs of shredded pork that they wanted to give us anyways. (He works for a pork processing company so he gets deals on meat all the time.) So I may just go super easy and do pulled pork sandwiches again and do some soup too like I originally planned. that kind of goes with my "pumpkin/fall" theme more. </p> <p>Can you tell I'm all over the place, sorry my mind is nuts right now! I'm very much a type A planner, this through me for a huge loop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-party#post-1874286 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 11:55:12 +0000 regberadaisy 1874286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no, I'm so sorry! That sucks major. :(</p> <p>I vote taco bar too! It's easy, cheap and still fun!</p> <p>@cmomma17: LOL that's my FIL. But he can still eat the meat without the "funky" fixings. And I can do other sides he'll eat. Like corn.

Both are fine options! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-party#post-1874220 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 11:23:05 +0000 Aimed 1874220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about a baked potato bar, bake a load of potatoes and let people dress/fill them themselves - have bacon, cheese, sour cream etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-party#post-1874213 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 11:19:35 +0000 LuLu Mom 1874213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! I think Taco Bar is the winner, I can make the meat on Friday night and it will be easy to prep everything. I'm thinking beef/chicken, cheese, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole, taco sauce, salsa, sour cream, and corn to top and call it good. Am I missing a biggie? </p> <p>I will have a queso dip and chips as well plus other munchies that are LOs favorites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-party#post-1874197 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 11:14:44 +0000 aegie 1874197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>taco &amp; nacho bar with lots of fixings ... guac, avocado, 2 types of shredded cheeses, queso dip, beef, chicken, salsa and corn relish ..... a lot of these can be bought and prepped ahead of time. I think it's filling, fun and even the kids will eat it! WIN WIN! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-party#post-1874164 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 11:02:32 +0000 Mommy Finger 1874164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do taco bars all of the time. Super easy, cheap, and very delicious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-party#post-1874159 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 11:00:11 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1874159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>taco bar - yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-party#post-1874154 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 10:58:31 +0000 yoursilverlining 1874154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote taco bar; but I’ll throw another option at you too – mac and cheese bar. We did that for LO’s 2nd birthday and it was a huge hit. It was also easy to do and not too expensive and people could customize their plate how they liked. You could have green salad on the side as well, and we also had chicken fingers and fruit and veggies on the side too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-party#post-1874150 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 10:57:30 +0000 Smurfette 1874150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Taco Bar! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-party#post-1874146 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 10:57:04 +0000 Shutterbug 1874146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sandwiches seem safer for the kids (maybe some kids don't eat tacos?) but I voted for the taco bar, because YUMMMM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-party#post-1874139 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 10:52:49 +0000 LuLu Mom 1874139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: Luckily it's all family and no one has dietary restrictions.

That sucks about the freezer. I voted for taco bar so people can customize what they want/like. They'll find something - beef vs chicken or veggies only, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-party#post-1874133 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 10:49:53 +0000 youboots 1874133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote taco bar because there are options for gluten free people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-party#post-1874128 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 10:47:50 +0000 cmomma17 1874128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd do sandwiches and sides. Some (crazy) people don't like mexican food!<br /> Such a bummer all your hard work was wasted! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-birthday-party#post-1874123 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 10:46:04 +0000 LuLu Mom 1874123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I spend 4+ hours on Sunday making 3 dozen traditional Runzas (a German/Nebraskan sandwich) for LOs birthday party which is Saturday. Went down to the deep freeze, the door was open everything is ruined and has to be tossed out. (my luck for sure.) So I'm going to plan B, which I need your help on. Her birthday is over dinner, a 5 pm party for 24 people (8 kids, 16 adults.) </p> <p>Which is the better option:<br /> Sandwich tray and up the amount of sides<br /> Taco Bar/Nacho Bar with all the fixings</p> <p>Or if you have a similar priced option throw it at me, I have little time and after throwing all that money in the trash I want it to be light on the wallet. (Pizza is not an option since it's a home football game in our city and it takes 3+ hours to get ordered.)</p> <p>Edit: no dietary restrictions for anyone attending party and are all meat eaters :) </p>
