Looking for Fun Food Ideas for One-Year Old Brithday

How about a pasta salad made with spinich noodles? Or, you can use green food coloring on regular pasta. LL

Dessert idea:

Banana Avocado Mousse (3 Toddler Servings)

1 Banana, peeled and chopped
1/2 Avocado, peeled and cubed
1/4 Cup Whole Milk Yogurt
2 Tbsp Rice Milk (you can also use almond, soy or whole milk)

1. Place all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and puree until thick, but smooth.
2. Serve.
-------------------------------------------------------
I've made this before and it was really easy to make and yummy! The "mousse" comes out looking green because of the avocado. It's healthy for you, but the kids won't know because it tastes delicious. Sorry, can't think of a name for this dessert that would fit your theme right now...

How about swamp jello? If you mix cool whip with green jello and pour it into a low dish, it will settle into two layers - a creamy green layer and clear green layer. You could then put a plastic frog or lizard on a lilly pad in the center.

We had a water theme party and did this with blue jello.

We also served grapes - call them Turtle eggs

Spinach or basil torillas or large lettuce leaves to make deli wraps instead of sandwiches. Add green food coloring to food items like mayo for potato salad or ranch dip. doa google search for St. Patricks Day treats and you're sure to find lots of green food items.

main dish all I can think of is a pesto pasta dish.

Here's a really cute "frog" ice cream dessert on a lily pad plate: http://familyfun.go.com/recipes/family/specialfeature/ice...

We had a frog party for my kiddos 1st birthday party. For food we had Frog legs (chicken strips), flies on a log (celery with peanut butter with raisins on top), Blue jello that before it settled completely I put gummie frogs on top for them to settle in a little to look like frogs in a pond, bowls of green M&Ms for the kiddos to enjoy, Gucamole with chips, and to drink we had blue and green gatorades. Everyone loved all the green stuff and my friend had made him the cutest frog cake. Hope you have a wonderful birthday party. You could see pics of his birthday at http://howsefamilyhappenings.blogspot.com (go back to the end of Feb/beginning of March for the birthday post). We chose the frog theme because he had a tough start at life being born with a cleft lip and palate and having to endure countless doctors appointments and surgery. We used the saying that FROG stands for Fully Rely On God!! It was the perfect theme for us.
