healthy party food...

Gosh, I have a very busy week ahead of me! My little man will be turning three years old next weekend (I can't believe it) and we are having a little dinosaur party for him! I didn't realise how much there was to organise for this little party! I have been writing lists, buying bits and pieces the last few weeks... I'm on track, so far! I've been having fun testing out party food recipes for the last week... much to the delight of my partner and little man... not so much to the delight of my poor waist line!

I made a small batch of rice crispies and marshmallow bars the other day. I don't have much of a sweet tooth but I nearly died of shock at how unbelievably sweet they were...Yikes!! I'm not sure I can put that on the party table, everyone may need to book an appointment with the dentist straight after the party! So, I have been looking for healthy alternatives. I will have a few yummy sugary things, after all it is a birthday party, but I would also love to have lots of healthy party food too!

So I was wondering what are your favourite, easy to make, healthy and yummy party foods recipes? I would love to know :)

    My kids are always happy when there is a raw veggie tray on the table, preferably with hummus, but ranch dressing will do, too. Also cheese & crackers. And fruit salad. Seriously, my kids love fruits & veggies. :)

    I made a lot of popcorn, some sweet-salt (very subtle) and some with a bit of honey. They loved it!
    Big bowl of fruit salad and vegetable sticks and some rice crackers.
    Also (as Mili's birthday is in the winter) I made biscuits dough (the most simple recipe) and the kids made shapes and we baked it! made the house warm and smell delicious!
    that was about that actually. Oh, and a chocolate birthday cake of course.
    (but we had a small party - only 4 kids other than my Mili so it was relatively easy.

    Sorry I'm no help here. Our party food is keeping the local dentists in business!
