Menu ideas for football theme 1st b-day

I need some help...any ideas?

ETA: I am definetely doing heroes with salads. But I would like 3 or 4 hot dishes. Not sure what to make/order for the hot dishes???

For apps I was thinking spinach dip, 7 layer mexican dip, pigs in a blanket, chips and dip.
Any other ideas?

Football makes me think of wings and beer... which is fine for the adults.. but obviously a challenge for the littles. I'd serve Root Beer to the kids who can have soda (or Root Beer Floats) - and maybe make some mild buffalo chicken nuggets for them by combining mild wing sauce with some blue cheese as a dip instead of coating in the sauce. They'll probably opt for the ketchup.. but at least it's there!

A nice hearty chili is good - served with toasted johnny cake - and maybe some ribs.

Buffalo Chicken Dip
For the kids I think Purdue makes football shaped nuggets.

pigs in a blanket
moz sticks
