Selecting food to serve at an afternoon playdate shouldn’t be difficult. I knew my mom friends would bring a snack to share that would likely be sweet (cookies, mini cupcakes, etc.) so I decided to offset with savory and healthy options for balance. The result was a gathering with just enough of what everyone wanted.

Easy Ranch Chicken Salad Sandwiches #Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 can white meat chicken
- 1/2 package cream cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 package dry Ranch seasoning
- 1 package sub rolls
- 3 tomatoes, sliced (optional)
- Romain lettuce (optional)
Drain chicken and mix with cream cheese, mayo, and seasoning packet until well combined. Open bread, spread equal amounts of chicken salad on each roll. Add layer of tomatoes and lettuce. Close/top sandwich and cut into serving size pieces (about 4 servings per roll.)
Fruit Bowl #Tips #Recipe
Ingredients:
- Seedless Watermelon, cubed
- Cantelope, cubed
- Honeydew Melon, cubed
- Strawberries, sliced
Wash and prepare fruit. Add to large bowl and toss gently.
Tip: When choosing fruit to serve at a play-date, always consider the age of your guests. While my bunch loves grapes with their fruit bowl, I intentionally avoid them when babies and toddlers attend. I also avoid serving apples for the same reason.
