Last Saturday was a fun night for my family. We celebrated EJ's 10th birthday. I cooked some food and we also bought some as addition. When I used to have a party for my children's birthdays, I used to cook everything but it can be tiring. I stopped hosting a party when they started going to school but we thought of having one this year since it's a great milestone for our little guy.
I cooked some pancit bihon (rice noodles). My parents always told me that rice noodles signifies long life lol. So on birthdays, we either have spaghetti or noodles.
I also baked some pigs in a blanket, kids love these kind of food.
As my daughter's request, I made some garden rotini pasta salad.
Then we made a bowl of fruit salad for dessert.
We also bought a tray of pizza from DiCarlo's.
My husband suggested that instead of me cooking that we can just buy some of the food so I can rest while waiting for the guests. I was all for it, approved!
Chicken strips and jojo potatoes.
Doritos for snacks is one of the kids favorite pick-me-up bites.
Soda for beverages.
And since our birthday boy is a football fanatic and a huge fan of Steelers, we got him a Steeler designed cake. Half of it is chocolate and half is vanilla.
We have left overs so I did not cook the next day yay! That's one good thing about hosting a party at home, you have left overs n the next day and you don't have to worry about cooking.
