It doesn’t sound exciting but it’s it’s always gobbled up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-suggestions-for-birthday#post-2793857 Thu, 28 Dec 2017 09:51:30 +0000 youboots 2793857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Slow cooker meatballs with sweet and sour or BBQ sauce.

So probably a total of about 5 kids and 12 adults.</p> <p>This was our menu:</p> <p><a HREF="https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/crustless-mini-quiches-366969">Crustless mini quiches</a><br /> Bacon<br /> Vanilla flavored Greek yogurt, granola and mixed berries<br /> Fruit skewers for the kids<br /> Crudités with tzatziki<br /> Silver dollar pancakes -- plain and chocolate chip<br /> Coffee<br /> Orange juice<br /> Some sort of sparkling wine like prosecco (for mimosas)<br /> Juice boxes<br /> Water<br /> Birthday cake</p> <p>The fruit skewers and crudités were barely touched. Everything else was demolished.</p> <p>We made everything ahead of time except the pancakes which I made during the party. But we have an open concept kitchen/living room so I was still basically at the party. And we got pancake mix to save time with the prep.</p> <p>I did all the prep work for the mini quiches the day before including chopping and sauteing the fillings. So in the morning I just had to assemble and bake them.</p> <p>The fruit skewers looked great but were a ton of work and no one ate them. So I would definitely skip that next time. Crudités with tzatziki have been big hits at other parties so I think it was just the wrong time of day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-suggestions-for-birthday#post-2793786 Wed, 27 Dec 2017 20:35:26 +0000 Foodnerd81 2793786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mini quiches or the Costco croissant sandwiches are pretty good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-suggestions-for-birthday#post-2793675 Wed, 27 Dec 2017 12:31:52 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2793675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oven potatoes and serve with long toothpicks, skewers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-suggestions-for-birthday#post-2793668 Wed, 27 Dec 2017 12:09:48 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2793668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to suggest mini quiches from Costco too!

And had chips. So sandwiches, bagels, fruit, chips, meat/cheese, and desserts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-suggestions-for-birthday#post-2793663 Wed, 27 Dec 2017 12:04:12 +0000 periwinklebee 2793663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do they have mini quiches at TJs? I feel like quiche is a great brunch option, and the mini ones would be easy to eat... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-suggestions-for-birthday#post-2793654 Wed, 27 Dec 2017 11:44:44 +0000 Meowkers 2793654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looking for suggestion for food to serve. </p> <p>We're doing a family only party for my daughter's 3rd birthday. It'll be all adults (she's going to Disneyland the next day.). Looking for suggestions for foods for a brunch time casual get together. So far I have a meat and cheese board, a build a bagel bar (lox, spreads, veggies, jams...), fruit, desserts. I feel like I need a few more options (my family is big on having lots of food at gatherings.)</p> <p>Must be:<br /> -finger/hand foods preferred as we won't have enough space for everyone to sit and use two utensils<br /> -must be super easy to put together as I'm 8 months pregnant.<br /> -I have access to Costco and Trader Joe's so anything easy from those places would work great. </p> <p>Thanks ladies! </p>
