[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally hate pizza but I know this is probably easiest.

Would it be a bad idea to get cava or bar taco type food?

I once put out a spread of sandwiches and salad at a my gym party and barely anyone ate. I want to say we took 90% of the food home. [/quote]

Sandwiches (boys) and salad (girls) might work for teens, maybe some tweens.  You don’t want premade tacos, but a taco bar could work for older elementary and middle school.  You don’t want any type of assembly line for kids who are second grade and younger, and you really, really don’t want to do that for preschool.

Mac and cheese
Chicken nuggets/tenders
Cheese/pepperoni pizza
Cheeseburger sliders (condiments and vegetables on the side)
Fries, sweet potato work as well as potato
Onion rings
Cheese plate and crackers, cheese dip 
Cut fruit, bowls of grapes and berries, cream cheese dip or nut butter if serving apple slices
Carrots/celery and hummus/ranch/nut butter
Chips and queso/cheesy bean dip

Toddlers prefer finger foods and dipping.  Preschoolers prefer familiar foods.  Early elementary age kids crave carbs, sugars and fats because they’re active.  By upper elementary, their palates are starting to widen, and you can get away with more sauces, spices and textures.
