LO will be 1 in a few weeks and I'm trying to decide what to serve for lunch (2pm). There will be about 25-30 guests.

I like to keep things simple! Sandwich fixings, chips, fruit & veggie trays, dessert.

For E's first bday, I went all out. Appetizers, korean taco bar, dessert table.....

I'm with @jhd:, keep it simple! We did hotdogs, pasta salads and chips for LO1's birthday party and I think we will do sandwiches for LO2's birthday.

Nachos, hot dogs, finger sandwiches, chips and dip, jambalaya

Over the weekend we ordered a Hawaiian pizza from my favorite pizza place. To keep the menu simple, yummy & somewhat portable I'd serve pizzas, veggie crudite, and fruit.
-
For E's 1st birthday we did: mini lobster rolls, veggies and dip, fruit and yogurt dip, crackers and assorted cookies, cupcakes and cake .
For her 2nd, we did: Mac and cheese bar with assorted toppings, chicken fingers and dip, fresh fruit, individual servings of popcorn, a candy buffet and cake.
Both parties started at 2pm.

We did chicken salad on croissants (both from
Costco), fruit salad, veggie cups, chips & guac. -
Ours was at 3: meatballs, pork sliders, cheese and salami, hummus and pita chips, Spanakopita, fruit, veggies, and cake.

I did an Italian feast for DS's 1st birthday party with trays of lasagna and baked ziti that I made the day before and popped in the oven. I also had a big salad and tons of garlic bread.
I've also thrown big parties and done the following:
Italian beef or pulled pork in the crockpot for sandwiches
Taco Bar
Baked potato and chili bar
Grilled sausages and chicken and various salads for sides -
We had:
Mini sandwiches
Veggie platter
Fruit salad
Crackers and Cheese
Chips and Dip
Cupcakes -
@yoursilverlining: Mac and cheese bar sounds soooo yummy!
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.
For his 2nd, we're doing a Planes theme, so a wing bar and plane-shaped sandwiches are on the menu. Haven't figure out the rest yet...

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.

We did catering from a local pizza place and got salad (which no one ate), a couple pasta dishes, steak tips, and bbq chicken with some sides. 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.
