Snacks
First, let's start with what is really fast and really not expensive. And, of course, snacks. The simplest version of a birthday is a buffet table, and next to it is music and pleasant communication. What can fill the buffet table? We offer several recipes.
Don't skip the usual ham sandwiches either. The modern industry says that people buy pleasure. If the sandwich is decorated beautifully (and this can be done simply), then your guests will get double the pleasure. Here is an example of a beautiful sandwich with ham, laid in a wave and stabbed with a skewer.
Filled tarts! The tartlets themselves are sold in any more or less small supermarket and they are not expensive. So there is no need to mess around with the test. you can start with anything, from rice with mayonnaise and herbs to minced meat with cheese, you can also cook fruit. A huge selection of toppings for tartlets -.
Chicken and potatoes would also be very good. The cooking time is minimal, the same as for the previous chicken + to peel the potatoes. Potatoes are better to choose not large. Sauces can be served separately (if there are several, it will also decorate the festive table).
The next inexpensive and quick option for a birthday is stuffed champignons! We offer you a recipe with minced meat. This is the most satisfying dish. But you can fill it with cheese and boiled egg and even boiled rice mixed with herbs. The main thing is to choose large champignons.
Here is a recipe for simple and delicious mushrooms - ““.
Salads
Well, firstly, vegetables can be served simply sliced. It's not a lot of money, even less time. Arrange these chopped vegetables in the form of small skewers. Very elegant!
Salad with beans! Yes, it is very tasty and very economical. Beans are hearty and very soft in a salad. The easiest option: boiled red beans (or canned) + boiled chicken breast + croutons + herbs + mayonnaise ....
There are a lot of variations - choose any: salads with beans on the festive table.
Sweet
Ear Napoleon. Ears are the so-called cookies in the form of two circles, it is tender and crumbly. Preparing such a cake is very easy: buy cookies "Ears" 800 grams and cook from 1 liter of milk. Lay out the ears in layers and lubricate each layer with cream. Be sure to let it brew and soak.
Fried bananas. Bananas are peeled and cut into 3-4 pieces. Then roll them in flour, and then in a beaten egg. And then again in flour. And deep-fry for 2-3 minutes. Very original and very satisfying. This dish is also suitable for a buffet table.
Pancake cake. This is a modern invention, although it has not yet gained popular popularity, but the dessert is very tasty. Pancakes should be fried with a minimum amount of oil. To do this, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable deodorized oil to the pancake batter. grease the pan 1st time and then without oil. Any cream for such a cake is suitable, but the best for my taste is from semolina or custard.
Your guests will not even guess that these are pancakes if you serve sliced cake in portions.
outdoor birthday party
Summer and autumn are the time for organizing friendly meetings in garden plots, in the garden, in nature. The menu at these receptions should not be overly sophisticated. The treat usually consists of appetizers, meat dishes cooked in the fresh air, seasonal salads and salads from raw vegetables, fruits, and cakes.
Table setting is usually modest. Dishes with food, baskets of fruit, jugs of drinks, plates of cakes are set on multi-colored, often oilcloth, tablecloths. Approach the table setting with imagination, use stylish design, interesting little things and nuances that will make the reception interesting and memorable. Serve fruits and vegetables not traditionally, but colorfully and unusually.
“Garden bouquets” of vegetables and fruits look unusually impressive.
A vegetable bouquet is slices of cucumber, tomato, radish, red pepper, planted on sticks and stuck, for example, in a head of cabbage.
Fruity bouquet - slices of apples, pears, plums, apricots, peaches planted on long sticks and stuck in some large watermelon, pineapple or pumpkin. They wonderfully decorate the table and attract the eye with their shape and various colors. They are also very good tasting and healthy. By experimenting with the height of the sticks used for “bouquets”, you can get an unexpected solution in the form of three-dimensional figures from vegetables or fruits.
An excellent solution for a "picnic in nature" is to prepare various types of salads and offer them to guests a la buffet. The rest of the dishes must be prepared so that they can be eaten standing or sitting and only with a fork.
Sandwiches prepared in a bizarre shape, interestingly or funny decorated, will help to add a touch of humor.
Outdoor dining can be made more inviting by serving food from the grill. They are not only exceptionally tasty, but also spectacular. They have the advantage that they are prepared practically without fat. Due to the high temperature, the outer layer of the meat thickens, a crispy crust forms, which protects against the loss of juice, aroma and nutrients.
All types of meat, offal, fish, vegetables, such as potatoes, red peppers, eggplant, are suitable for grilling. You can also experiment here by trying grilled tomatoes or onions.
In all receptions, in addition to the principle of proper nutrition, it is important to adhere to one more thing, namely: do not force anyone to eat, do not forcibly put dishes on the guests' plate. The same applies to the reception of guests in the fresh air, or a picnic.
I love accuracy in everything, so I always make a birthday menu in advance. Even if the guests are scheduled almost for tomorrow, I will still make time for this. It is better to spend an extra 10 minutes writing a list than to go to the store twice because of something you accidentally missed.
What lists are needed?
I write several lists at once:
- a list of dishes and drinks that will be on the table;
- list of ingredients and purchases;
- a to-do list, that is, a sequence of actions so as not to forget anything.
Example: organizing a husband's birthday at home
I will show you how I organized this process for my husband's birthday.
Initially, we decided that we would celebrate this day together in a restaurant, but later my husband said that he would just like to sit with friends and drink beer ... and this is at home ... tomorrow. Does it happen to you? In 5 minutes, the men decided that the restaurant was canceled, and long live the homemade feast. Shock? Stress? No, absolutely.
We specify the number of guests: together with us, we got 6 adults and 2 children. So the menu I counted on this number of people.
If you have more time, it means more opportunity to plan everything carefully and correctly, but if you don’t have it, as in my case, just stop for a few minutes and think about what the people who come to visit you like. I know that two of the guests do not eat liver, two more seafood, etc., so these dishes on the table are not desirable. It is probably impossible to take into account all tastes and preferences, but what guests do not eat for sure is not worth cooking. And vice versa, if you know for sure that your guests love some of your dishes very much, they always eat it first, be sure to cook it!
I don’t really bother with the compatibility of dishes, I cook what I am sure of. Just because it's a beer party doesn't mean there won't be cake or snacks. Less conventions, unless you have to meet some ambassador.
An example of a birthday menu at home
Previously, my menu did not always fit on one sheet. Three salads, three types of sandwiches, 3-4 appetizers, etc. Naturally, all this remained after the holiday and disappeared. What for? To show what a good hostess I am? This is superfluous, my guests already know it :)
I'm not calling you to minimalism, I'm calling you to be objective. Just think, would you eat so many dishes at a party? If so, you don’t need to invent anything else and add another extra salad.
Because I have little time to prepare, I chose all the recipes simple and not too labor-intensive:
Salads and appetizers
- Salad with smoked chicken (hearty)
- Spring salad (light)
- Tomato salad with green dressing (instead of appetizer)
- Baskets with mushrooms and chicken
hotter
- Rustic potatoes
- Grilled chicken wings
- Khachapuri homemade
Dessert
- Strawberry yogurt cake
Beverages
- Beer, wine
- Juice, compote, tea, coffee
Additionally:
- Adjika, mustard, ketchup

Making a shopping list
If I cook according to certain recipes, then I select all the recipes I need on the table: I print them out, take them out of folders, or put notebooks aside.
Why do I need it? So I am sure that having written out all the ingredients, I will not miss anything I need, but I will not buy too much either. Often, relying on our memory, we stand at the store counter and cannot remember how many grams of chicken we need for a salad, or whether there is cheese in this dish at all, so we always take more than we need, being safe.
I AM making a shopping list based on the ingredients of the recipes I need. After reviewing all the ingredients, I write out only what I don’t have at home, immediately indicating how many grams, kilograms, etc. I need one or the other. My list this time looked like this:
Tip: Take the time to rewrite your list to match the departments of the store you go to. I know exactly the location of my favorite supermarket, so I start with fruits and vegetables, then meat products, cheeses and sausages, etc. Those few extra minutes will save you a lot of time in the store. you will not rush around the entire store, but calmly go around it only once.
And one more important point. If there are products on the list that you need to go to a specialized store or market, take them out separately. With such a detailed list, you can send your husband to the store, and do other things yourself.
I think you noticed that on my list chicken wings and potatoes are highlighted in red. That's because we ordered them to be made at a beer specialty store that has a huge grill. If there is an opportunity to facilitate your preparation, and you are sure of the quality, be sure to use this. The price difference with raw foods is not as big as it might seem.
We plan a sequence of actions
Important plan a sequence of actions so that before the arrival of the guests do not run around in an apron and a dressing gown, cutting food.
Everything that can be cut in the store should be cut there. Having a sliced loaf and sliced \u200b\u200bsausage for sandwiches on hand, you spend 5 minutes, not 20.
I said that I am writing a list of actions, while indicating what the husband can do, for example. And don't forget to include things like hair washing and beauty treatments on your list. You don't want to remember this half an hour before the guests arrive.
What can you do the night before
If possible, do some of the preparatory work the night before: cook compote, bake cake layers, boil eggs and vegetables. In the morning, you can start cooking directly, rather than preparing the ingredients and chilling them.
I cooked compote in the evening to cool it down, baked a biscuit, and made croutons for salad in the cooling oven. Also boiled chicken fillet and eggs. In the evening, it is better to clean the house, wash the bathrooms and wipe the dust. Tomorrow you just might not be in time.
If I cooked the wings at home, then I would pickle them in the evening too. I usually marinate the wings in a mixture of vegetable oil, soy sauce, ketchup and honey with garlic.
If possible, then in the evening you can cook the whole cake, it will perfectly stand in the refrigerator until the next evening. If not, then start from this point in the morning.
Morning
In the morning it is necessary to do the remaining preparatory work, namely, cut the eggs and chicken fillet for salad and baskets.
I trained myself to cut the same type of food for several dishes at once, for example, all eggs for all recipes. Naturally, I take into account how many of them are needed for which dish, and I divide them into different salad bowls. It really saves time - you only wash the grater, board and knife after this product, not 3-4.
You can also do with cheese and other products. At this stage, I also cook mushrooms so that I no longer have to be distracted by snacks.
It is important to do it in advance stuffing for baskets , then you just have to lay it out in baskets and bake. cook salad with smoked chicken. Since all the ingredients are already cut, it will take quite a bit of time.
What is important to do during the day
In order to switch, and simply not to miss this moment, you need to set aside all the necessary dishes that you need for serving. I put it on a chest of drawers in my room, checking to see if anything needs extra wiping or rinsing along the way. Of course, it is better to accustom yourself to thoroughly wash and wipe the dishes after each feast, then before the holiday it will take only 5-10 minutes.
Prepare the tablecloth and napkins. Refrigerate drinks if necessary.
Whisk dressing sauce spring salad and tomato salad .
cook spring salad , for which mix 4 diced boiled eggs, sliced radish rings, thinly sliced \u200b\u200bcucumbers. Separate a third of the green tomato salad dressing, add sour cream and dress the spring salad. Garnish with quail egg halves.
Transfer the adjika to the bowl (if there is no adjika, take care of another sauce for the wings in advance).
What to do in the evening
An hour before the arrival of guests, you can start cooking sandwiches . Sharing a family recipe. At first glance, the combination is strange, but try them, you will definitely like them. Lubricate the loaf slices with a thin layer of butter, mayonnaise or tartar sauce, lay the sausage slices and top with a slice of kiwi. Garnish with half an olive.
How long did it take for this dish? On the strength of 5-7 minutes, because. only kiwi had to be cut. Such sandwiches look spectacular on the table, kiwi gives sourness and emphasizes the taste of sausage. In this recipe, it is best to use boiled smoked sausage.
If you decide, like me, to make khachapuri, then put the dough on the kneading. We need about 40 minutes to knead and rise. We will do the main work when the guests have already gathered.
While the bread machine is running, spread the filling in baskets . When the guests are already at the table, put the dish in the microwave for a few minutes.
cook tomato salad , it is quite simple, so it is prepared quickly.
It's time to set the table. You can put appetizers and salads, sauce, sandwiches.
It only took me a few minutes to heat up the wings and potatoes. The table is set, the guests are assembled.
If you, like me, decide to treat your guests to khachapuri, then it's time to roll out the dough. They bake pretty quickly. So the guests will not have time to deal with snacks, as you serve them with heat and heat on the table. No fuss, but no one will leave hungry.
I hope that in this birthday menu at home you will find something useful for yourself, making it easier for you to prepare for a holiday or a feast. Put on a beautiful dress, a radiant smile and meet the guests!
Merry and joyful home holidays!
Preparation for the holiday is not always troublesome and takes a lot of time. If the piggy bank has the right recipes for quick, but tasty and beautiful dishes, then you can manage in a couple of hours.
