You definitely need a protein since you are having it at lunch time. Pulled pork is super easy and tasty!!

$40 for a cake isn't bad at all!!

Hero sandwiches, cut up? Or finger sandwiches? Or empanadas or samosas?

I agree with the PPs who said BBQ of some sort - pulled pork or chicken would be great!

We had a fancy cake, and it totally made the pics. You won't regret it

@Bookish: Gotcha. I definitely agree with the crockpot. There are so many things you can make. Go with a bunch of seasoned, shredded chicken and have a taco bar. Do pulled pork sandwiches. Get some italian beef for sandwiches. If you don't want to make it, there are tubs you can buy at the grocery store and just keep it warm.

We just did a mac and cheese bar for LO's birthday and it was super easy, reasonably priced and a huge hit! Had toppings like bacon, hat, hot dogs, roasted red peppers, peas, crispy onions, etc.

you could also do pulled pork in the slow cooker. i'd also say a big bowl of fruit salad

Slpppy joes or pulled pork? You need a protein. I'd through in a fruit salad/tray and maybe some baked beans?

We did hot dogs in the slow cooker - easiest thing ever. You literally don't have to do a thing! No adding sauce, no shredding meat, just put the hot dogs in the slow cooker and leave them there.

Here was our food list:
- Hot dogs
- Toppings: Ketchup, mustard, chili, onions, cheddar cheese. I just set out bowls of all this stuff like a cute little hot dog bar. And I wanted to keep it simple, so I just bought canned chili and heated it up.
- Potato salad (pasta salad works too, though)
- Baked beans
- Pickles
- Chips and dip
- Fruit/cheese tray

Then for drinks we had water (I wanted to make it cute so I got a drink dispenser and filled it with cut up fruit, ice, and water, so it was flavored), lemonade, and pop.

Oh, and do yourself a favor and buy the cake. It will be more of a pain than you're predicting when you're trying to pull together all the last minute details.

Pulled buffalo chicken sliders in the crock pot are also really easy and super yummy. We have a lot of friends who don't eat pork or beef, so we make that often!
