Mothers wear many hats when it comes to their childrens' lives, one being maintaining everyone's nutritional needs. A way to keep the familial diet light, balanced, and fun is to introduce the concept of "hors d'oeuvres".     A presentation of classic hors d'oeuvres or "finger food", such as cheeseball pick-me-ups, miniature franks and marshmallow kebabs, bring a vibrant aesthetic of color and flavor to the table, exercising a mother's culinary creativity while allowing time for an exhilarating and interesting life for everyone.
