We catered with hot food last year (chicken fingers, mac & cheese, baked ziti, meatballs), salad, etc because I promised DH if we had a party he wouldn't have to grill! Chat Icon

WE are doing similar. DD birthday party is being held at the house late JUne.....even though for most parties we do BBQ food....I do not want to miss a second of DD's party because we are handling the grill ect....so we are catering with salads and heros. And the night before I am going to make a few trays of meatballs, baked ziti, sausage and peppers.

On a hot humid day like today, I would gravitate toward a watermelon, hollowed out, filled with fruit!!! Would be so refreshing!!! Mary

We are doing similar too, but I am not even doing trays of food (except for chicken fingers/fries for the kids). DD's party is at a park in mid-July (Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon the weather cooperates) and I don't want to have to deal with keeping things hot, so I am keeping it super simple...

lunch:
heros
chips
veggies and hummus
chicken fingers and fries

dessert:
cupcakes
fruit kabobs

My goal is that no one need utensils Chat Icon
