Pool Party Ideas?

Can anyone give me a menu with recipies for good food that I can set out and let guests eat as they wish. Its an open house pool party so people will be arriving and leaving as they wish. So I need food that will not poison someone if its left out. Ha Ha

    It was purely accidental but I set out a bowl of gummy worms at my sons pool party and we spent the afternoon throwing them to the pretend trout that swam in the pool with their mouths open. No damage to pool or kids. They loved it.

    chicken salad served in croissants or stuffed tomatoes, veggie plate, fruit bowl...but carve out a watermelon for the bowl. spinach dip in a bread bowl...use two containers chopped frozen spinach, mozarella cheese, parmesan cheese (the real stuff not the powered stuff), 8 oz. cream cheese, 10 oz. cottage cheese, nutmeg, seasoned salt and pepper. I'd also throw in a little onion and garlic. bake for 25 minutes or so at 400 or 450. serve with bread and tortilla chips. also, a cheese board is always good. use a chunk of cheddar, danish bleu, boursin, and dill havarti. serve with a variety of crackers, italian bread and fruit garnish....if i had more time, i'd also give you my bruchetta recipe...so easy and so good. i would serve sorbet for dessert.

    Vegetables and fruit with dip sounds like a good idea but make sure you put dip in some ice.

    Avoid meats sitting out in the hot sun.

    How about just hitting Costco and warming up a bunch of finger foods? Taquitos, mini pizzas, corn dogs, egg rolls, mozarella sticks, etc.
