POV: You’re throwing a birthday party for your toddler and you need a menu.

It’s gotta be kid-friendly. You want it to satisfy the adults. It needs to be cheap. You want it to look fancy. And it’s gotta be easy.

Let me help.

1 HAM + CHEESE SLIDERS

2 MINI POTATOES

3 BABYBEL HORS D’OEUVRES

4 MINI CARAMEL APPLE BITES

5 DONUTS

That’s it!

But wait: This easy-peasy selection can be stored in your phone for reference and revisited and reused for any party.

Keep it simple with Kraft cheese and store-brand ham for a kids’ party, or dress it up with nice cuts of meat and higher-end spreads for an adult party.

Here’s why: If you use this as a default menu for your parties, it’ll save brain power.

1. You won’t have to reinvent the menu each time you plan a bash.

2. You’ll become familiar with making these items, and it’ll be easier each time.

3. You save mental energy for the parts of hosting that actually matter.
