[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny here- I make a tapas type of deal for each kid, so they can pick and choose what they like. I make a plate that looks eye catching with little bits of chopped carrots, cucumbers, red peppers, hummus, cheese, turkey or chicken, plus hummus and ranch. I add a few cashews, raisins, dried mango, crackers, fresh apples, grapes, and strawberries. I then make a hummus sandwich and call it a day. It’s literally little bits of each thing on a plate. Whatever they don’t eat (shhhhh) gets recycled and arranged in a cute eye appealing way for their snack plate. I add some more fresh fruit plus whatever they actually ate for lunch on the snack plate and call it a day.

In the pantry and fridge I have a bin labelled ‘playdates’ and all the dried fruit/crackers and then fruit/veg/cheese etc is kept in those bins, so when we have a play date I grab the bins and just put things on plates. It seems time consuming but it’s not. Parents always rave about my play date spreads, but honestly it just makes my life easier serving little bits of this and that, so kids can choose what they want to eat. [/quote]

You're not seriously reserving food that was out and touched by kids hours later.  Please tell me you aren't actually doing something that germy.

Otherwise putting things out sounds fine, but once something is actually on a plate, it doesn't get re-served.  [/quote]

I think she's saying that the kids have their own spread and if they don't eat something on it, it reappears on the same kids plate later. I do that with my kids all the time.  [/quote]

Which is fine for your own kid.  It's not how you treat guests.
