Greetings!

It's been forever since I last posted here. I am so glad to see this
group has survived - so many of my others have not

We're having a 3rd birthday party for my daughter. It'll be a Sat
afternoon, 3-6pm, aimed mainly at kids but some parents present. It
will be followed by a much larger party, including adults and kids for
the evening (sort of a block party with a few houses).

I'm stumped for food for the kiddos. Ages will range from a few months
to about 7 yrs. It's not really a meal time, but I gather I need more
than cake It'll also be hotter than h*ll. It's been in the 100s
here and doesn't look to give anytime soon. I reallllllllly don't want
to grill anything. Cooking inside is cooler, but I'd rather have
stuff I can prepare in advance.

I'll have a bunch more food for the evening party, and usually do a
huge array of heavy appetizers, but I figure I need something for the
kids' as well. Not Pizza. Healthy is nice - and many of these kids
come from families who don't do fast-food, but it doesn't *have* to be
healthy, it is a party afterall. Ideally, an array of kid-friendly
appetizers could work, late afternoon snack type stuff. Any
suggestions? My kid eats rather grown up food (smelly expensive
French cheese and pate, or even foie gras are favourites...go figure)
but not exactly what I want to serve to a group of kids! Her
favourite afternoon snack is plain yoghurt mixed with pureed fruit,
but that's not really party-friendly.

Thanks!
