Ethan Turns Two // Campout Food


In an attempt to revive my Tasty Tuesday--aka food posts, I thought I would give you the details on the food we served at Ethan's second birthday party.  I had fun pulling together a camp theme and everyone seemed to really enjoy the food.

 A fun snack for the kiddos...we made "mud pies" which is essentially chocolate pudding, crushed oreo and gummy worms on top.  They were a big hit!

 I saw the "Don't feed the bears" idea on Pinterest.  The "bears" are Teddy Grahams.

 Ants on a log were a natural "healthy" choice to serve as a snack.

Pigs in a Blanket...or kiddos in a sleeping bag!  They made for tasty little morsels.

I should also add that we had a pasta salad, watermelon, homemade focaccia, and BBQ chicken sliders.  Everyone raved about the sliders.  Seriously, just throw some raw chicken breasts and BBQ sauce in a slow cooker for 4 hours, and voila!  Your friends will love it!

 "Bug Juice" was a must for the camp theme.  And of course, vino for the adults.

And last...the cake.  Now...I will admit, I had the cake made.  I just did not have time to make one from scratch.  BUT the topping was all me.  The logs are Pirouette Rolled Wafers and the flames are melted cinnamon and butterscotch hard candies.  My one mistake was buying the "cream butterscotch" candies and not the yellow kind.  Oops!  It still turned out ok, I think!  ;)

We had a lot of fun pulling all the food together.  I believe that part of what makes a great party is the great food {and beverage!}.

I'll be back later this week with more party details!
