I'll get a few kinds of hot dogs ( regular Nathan's, organic chicken, and maybe a gourmet dog), then get a bunch of different toppings and condiments. My son is craaazy over the Hot Dog song from Mickey Mouse playhouse and I'll think I'll call it the "Hot Diggety Dog" bar. </p> <p>And then there will just be normal sides like pasta salad, fruit salad and chips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-youare-you-serving-at-the-1st-bday-party#post-589932 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 10:47:52 +0000 GrapeCrush 589932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we are having a taco/nacho/mexican party bar. crockpot meats so no cooking! and easy prep the day before for toppings :o) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-youare-you-serving-at-the-1st-bday-party#post-589925 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 10:37:43 +0000 regberadaisy 589925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: ohmygod can I come to your party as a kid??!?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-youare-you-serving-at-the-1st-bday-party#post-589923 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 10:36:01 +0000 littlek 589923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are doing pulled pork for adults and catering Chickfila for the kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-youare-you-serving-at-the-1st-bday-party#post-589917 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 10:31:43 +0000 regberadaisy 589917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we're going to be making pulled pork in the smoker. It'll be minimal cooking attending the day of and everyone can serve themselves. We can do all the sides the day before. Easy peasy &amp; cheap! And everyone loves anything my husband makes in his smoker. :)</p> <p>What are you/did you serve at LO's first birthday party? </p>
