I am having family over to celebrate my daughters 11th birthday. Nothing fancy, any good food ideas??

Question

It will be on a Sunday afternoon. I already have a nice cake ordered. I would like simple finger foods, adult and kid friendly. Thank you!

Answer 1

If you have time it is always nice to cook the food yourself. Some nice ideas are:
Steamed dumplings - Chicken and Pork
Mini pizza
Pies and Sausage rolls
Spaghetti scrolls - Just use the sauce wrapped in puff pastry
Frankfort's
Sandwiches
Etc - All this is relatively easy and can be prepared the night before and just placed in the oven on the day.

Answer 2

I know you said you wanted simple finger food, but i always just make a sauce, and serve zitti. kids and adults like it. Even try ordering some pizza. Hope you have a nice day. Happy Birthday to your daughter.

Answer 3

Here is something so quick and simple, you will want to fix it anytime. Take a lb. of ground beef, add one pkg. of onion soup mix to it. Then take a roll of crescent rolls and cut each in half long ways, Press each one out to make them bigger. Take a one inch ball of ground beef/onion soup and roll it up in it. Put on baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for approx. 15 minutes and serve hot with your favorite toppings if desired. These are so quick and easy and everyone loves them. They will think you worked all day!! Good Luck!
P.S. You don't add any other seasoning to the mixture because the onion soup mix has all the seasonings in it already.
