Got some pint sized chefs at home? Or just some pint sized diners? Lisa Barnes’ “Petit Appetit: Eat Drink & Be Merry” is just the ticket. This family cookbook features recipes for more than 150 organic, kid-friendly snacks, drinks and party fare, from cheesecake-like pumpkin tarts to sparkling limeade, confetti slaw and more. Yum. We’re giving away a copy this week and all you have to do is tell us, what did you serve at your kid(s) last birthday party? We’ll draw a winner’s name next Monday.
(Congrats, by the way, to Judy who won last week’s wonderful “Super Granny” book!)

The last birthday we had for my son, we barbecued and had a variety of pasta and vegetable salads, fresh fruit and corn on the cob. Not to forget the chocolate cake to top off the meal.

At the last birthday party we had mini-chocolate cupcakes topped with lemon frosting. They were small enough to fit in little mouths, and delicious to boot! Another plus: no silverware needed in the eating process. Also, baby carrots and broccoli dipped in ranch dressing and pink lemonade. Go finger foods!

Ooohh…pick me, pick me! My son’s birthday party is tomorrow & we’re going with chips, hot dogs & sausages on the grill, green salad & lots of chocolate cake and ice cream. Definitely not organic, but great for a birthday splurge!

I have to admit I tend to serve the same old things all the time to my kids friends at their parties—pizza, chips, fruit tray, baby carrots, and cookies/brownies.
Maybe this book would give me some ideas to branch out and be more adventuresome for my son’s bday party the end of July.
Thanks.

Butterfly cake – just a yellow cake shaped and decorated like a butterfly. And we ate out – Chinese food!

My all-time favorite food to serve at kid’s birthday parties were chicken nuggets!! I never met a kid yet who didn’t like chicken nuggets! I even had vegetarian nuggets once or twice, if we had vegetarians there. I generally serve cut-up fruit and veggies like baby carrots…with ranch dip! The dessert that was always a hit was make-it-yourself sundaes. I put out 3 different flavors of ice cream and numerous toppings and whipped cream.

Pizza….always pizza!! I add vegetables and fruit and of course cake and ice cream! Cupcakes are good if the party is away from home, otherwise it’s always a big layer cake so I have leftovers!
