The Perfectly Simple Menu


Planning the menu can be the most stressful part of the party. You want to serve beautiful, yummy food, but kids can be hesitant to try new things. Here are a few fun ideas that are sure to please.

Jesica Medellin shared a simple, yet deliciously darling idea for food at your next girly party. At their party they used pink and purple bread, (she got hers at Wangsgards), to make peanut butter and jam sandwiches. She then used a flower shape cookie cutter to cut out a flower shaped sandwich. We love it. Cute, simple and tasty!

I've recently discovered that my daughters love eating off skewers, and we couldn't think of a better way to round out your menu than with a fresh fruit skewer. Fill the skewers with fun, colorful fruit like strawberries and grapes, and place them in the fridge before the party. If you have cut fruit that will brown you may want to drizzle the pieces with lemon juice to keep them fresh. Serve with a spoonful of your favorite fruit dip and there won't be any leftovers.

Looking for a cool way to dress up your drink? Ice trays now come shaped like butterflies, flowers and stars, and you can find them online or at your local craft and cooking stores. Mix some pink or red kool-aid and pour it into a shaped ice tray. When you are ready for drinks poor a clear soda or punch into a clear cup and place the ice cubes in right before serving. It will be the talk of the party.
