How to Prepare a Blue Colored Food Night for your Kids

Having a one-colored food night is a great way to start a new family tradition, celebrate an event, or just have fun. My youngest daughter helped inspire the foods for this celebration.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Blue foods
• Optional: blue food coloring
• Blue table cover
• White plates, cups, utensils

1. 
    

   Buy foods that are naturally blue, such as blueberries and blue corn tortilla chips.

2. 
    

   Buy prepared blue foods such at Boo Berry cereal, blue finger jello (at your local deli, blue gum and blue raspberry candy.

3. 
    

   Add blue food coloring to white chocolate melted in your microwave. Cover large marshmallows with it, and dry on waxed paper.

4. 
    

   Add blue food coloring to a white cake mix, and white frosting. Make cupcakes, and top with blue cake sprinkles.

5. 
    

   For drinks, buy blue Hawaiian Punch, blue Kool-Aid, or other drink mixes.

6. 
    

   Serve Blue Moon ice cream or fresh blueberries.

7. 
    

   Serve foods on white paper plates, with white napkins, paper cups, and utensils, on a blue table cover. The blue food will compliment the white plate, with the blue table cover underneath.

8. 
    

   Make it even more fun and ask each guest or family member to wear blue clothing.

Tips & Warnings

• Add party favors, such as blue mechanical pencils and blue spiral notebooks (useful items that are not a waste of money).
• For young girls having a "blue food" party, buy blue nail polish and paint finger and toe nails blue.
• for a main meal idea, add blue food coloring to mashed potatoes
• add blue food coloring to milk
• add blueberries to pancakes or muffins
• Adding blue food coloring to some foods may be repulsive
