What food should I set out for a mommy playgroup?

This is a very casual group. The usual food served is:

bagel/cream cheese
strawberries
cheese its for kids
crackers for mommies with hummus
coffee/ juice

I'm just bored with the usual routine but don't want to do much- if any- cooking/baking.

Any suggestions on what can be thrown together or bought that could add a little variety?

TIA

I had one last week and put out croissants and cut up fruit

Quiche, cold cuts.

We generally do cold cuts (turkey and cheese roll ups for the kids and mommies can make sandwiches for themselves)

I also did "make your own pizzas". I bought the dough from the supermarket (in the dairy section - I cut the ball into 3 sections so each child had their own), made my own sauce, bought pre-shredded cheese and let the kids make their own pizzas. It was really cute! Them I made 1 large one for the moms.

how about adding in Lox to go with the bagels or tuna salad and / or chicken salad if it's a little later in the day?

tuna, egg,and chicken salad are yummy on bagels

Coldcuts are always good too!
