what do I serve at a party for 19-14yr olds?

Question

Doesn't have to be x-mas, but it must be awesome. Kool appetizers, cookies, dips, punches, and such. A feast for the eyes, too would be nice. I'm putting forth a bit more effort than just throwing out chips and cookies!

I may have 18 people in attendance!

Answer 1

do finger food
they are easy to prepare and they look awesome when displayed nicely!

make mini pizzas, mini cheese sandwiches, BBQ chicken skewers, chips and dips, jacket potatoes, cookies' assortments, brownies, pinapples and strawberry skewers...etc.

Good Luck ;-)

Answer 2

Try setting out a table with a variety of breads like french bread chunks, bagels, and English muffins...have a mini pizza station set up to where each teen can create their own pizza bread and then toast them in the oven for them...a good recipe for punch is to take different colors and flavors of juice and freeze them into ice cubes...start a few days early so you can get a lot of them done...then add them to a punch bowl with some ginger ale or sprite or sierra mist....it is quite tasty.

Answer 3

Ask everyone to bring one small dish!

You Bake, (From Scratch) Hot Rolls, Bake Chicken Drum Sticks,
Potato Salad, Baked Fruit: Cored Apples, Cored Pears sliced like Orange wedges, Fresh Pineapple, Bananas, cut in half then each half cut into fourths, peaches, Kiwi, raisins, cranberries.
Arrange the fruit, alternating each kind. Drizzle honey over all,
tabs of butter here and there, and a liberal dose of brown sugar.
Bake in the oven until fruit is hot!

Answer 6

finger foods: sandwiches, carrots, dip, (stores sell meat and cheese trays) chips, cookies, brownies, hot dogs, hamburgers, cupcakes, pasta...goes a long way...pizza..doesn't go as far..costs a lot more. Be sure to use lots of streamers and balloons and have live music if possible. punch, tea, soda, bottled water...hope this helps

Answer 7

i always have nachos at my party's its a shore hit. this is a great recipe, hope it helps.
1/2 lb. lean ground beef

Answer 8

Taco's and burritos. Prepare a variety of meat, cheese and vegetables in small dishes, and let everybody make their own taco or burrito. Make sure to have chips, salsa and bean dip. Have a couple of frying pans on low, so you can make quesadillas and have the oven on broil to melt the cheese on your nachos. Make non-alcoholic margaritas for the kids, and pure agave margarita for yourself. 19 x 14 year old teenagers, your gonna need it!

Answer 9

Home made pizzas or chicken sandwiches would go great among the teenagers.A cake,something sweet is necessary,chips and some dessert.
