Pizza is the superhero of children’s party meals. You order out for it, kids love it, end of story. But for those of you who want to elicit oohs and ahs by knocking pizza off its pedestal, this is for you. As many of you know I ran a children’s birthday party place in Wilton for a few years. For one party, a mom came in with a corded hot pot filled with mac & cheese sprinkled with green peas. The toddlers ate it. Megan Cooley on About.com suggests making ordinary sandwiches fun by cutting them with cookie cutters. Squidoo.com has this recipe for a taco salad:
Set out a bowl of cut up lettuce, and surround it with the various ingredients for a taco salad- chopped tomatoes, beans, shredded cheese, seasoned ground beef, cooked cubed chicken, corn chips, corn, and various salsas. Let the kids assemble their own salads. All right, I know – this is nowhere as straightforward as making a call to Planet Pizza or Letizzia’s. But even I would dig into either of these savory dishes. But come to think of it, I have no qualms about pizza either.
