We had about 50 people and we started at noon so everyone came hungry. I normally wouldn't have done the steak and chicken but LO is MSPI so I wanted something for her to eat too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-serve-for-food-at-a-birthday-party#post-1928985 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 12:19:58 +0000 fairy 1928985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We grilled burgers and hotdogs on our wood pellet grill, then had a fixings bar, chips, fruit salad, veggie dippers, and potato salad. It was summer during her party, but I would probably do the same for now :) the traeger grill works fine in cold weather, just uses more pellets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-serve-for-food-at-a-birthday-party#post-1928917 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 11:57:31 +0000 littlebug 1928917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: Mac and cheese bar sounds soooo yummy!</p> <p>For D's first birthday, I think I did a crock of pulled pork, a crock of Italian beef, and then chips, fruit, veggies, and cupcakes.</p> <p>For his 2nd, we're doing a Planes theme, so a wing bar and plane-shaped sandwiches are on the menu.
