I am having my daughter's 1st birthday party and I want to keep the menu simple. Since it is a kids party, I want to have kid friendly food. I was planning on having chicken nuggets from chick fila, ham bbq, rigatoni, and I really wanted to have macaroni and cheese. I really don't want to make the mac and cheese myself, it just doesnt stay creamy. Any suggestions on where I can order mac and cheese for a resonable price? Any other suggestions in place of mac and cheese?
My parents always are assigned to bring mac n cheese to family gatherings because everyone loves the kind they get and its just from the Randalls (grocery store) deli! :) They call ahead & order a big pan of it!
If you sprinkle cornstarch little by little after you add the cheese, it breaks down the cheese and makes it creamy.
I'd sub a big crockpot of green beans for the mac/cheese.....since you're already serving pasta. Lots of kids love green beans & it ties in nicely with your menu.
Dickeys BBQ has a yummy, creamy mac-n-cheese! -- But I don't know that you need as much food as you are planning. Nuggets, mac-n-cheese and cake/ice cream would probably suffice. Happy Birthday!
I don't know about price, but Boston Market mac and cheese is awesome. iI agree with PP you might be planning a bit to much food, but then again I have no idea how many people are coming. I went totally overboard at my first daughters first birthday. In my opinion (hindsight) it would have been more fun for me if I would have kept it simple. Maybe chicken nuggets and fruit from chick fil a and then some mac and cheese, followed by cake and you should be good to go. :)
