Answer
Chicken nuggets, you can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut them in strips and make them on your own, their healthier this way! You can then bread them and bake them in the oven!
Grilled cheese sandwiches
BLT Sandwiches
Turkey, Lettuce, and Tomato sandwiches
Ham and cheese
You can get some cold cuts and some whole grain bread and have the kids choose the meats and cheeses they like, or just get turkey, ham, and swiss cheese with some whole grain bread and then the white toast for the BLT.
You can do a veggie platter with dips. Cut up carrots or get the baby ones, celery, and some of the cherry tomatoes and some raw broccoli if you think they'll eat that, and put it out with some ranch dip and peanut butter as dip! Hummus is good too!
Cut up fruit and skewer it like kabobs! You can also put this out with peanut butter for dip, You can use pineapple, apple, berries, pears, whatever the kids like and will eat! Skewer them on some of the wooden skewers which you can get at the grocery store, or you can even make a fruit salad, but make sure no matter what you do, sprinkle with some lemon juice to keep the fruit from turning brown. They won't taste it, trust me!
You can also do pizza bagels or the pizza on English Muffins. Get some Mozzerella cheese and pizza sauce and pepperoni in case some of the kids like that, spread the sauce on the bagels or English muffins, add the cheese and then some pepperoni slices, the kids can each make their own pizzas. Pop in the oven and bake!
You can also have some bowls of popcorn and pretzels. They are both healthy versions of chips and snacks. Just make sure the popcorn is not buttered.
You can also do Nachos, get some of the Tostitos, put some of the shredded Mexican cheese on it, microwave until melted and then they can dip the chips in sour cream or salsa. You can even make homemade salsa to make it more healthy, but grocery stores have their own versions too.
How about grilling them hot dogs and hamburgers? Let them pick some of their own toppings with lettuce, tomatoes, and onions, get some buns and they can have that, or just do the burgers.
You can even do homemade fries for a more healthy alternative. Cut up baking potatoes, then toss them on a sheet pan in Olive Oil, salt, pepper, and I add Rosemary, then bake at 450 degrees for about 45 minutes to an hour, check at the 45 minute mark and taste, you'll know when they're done. These are very healthy. You LEAVE the skins on, just make sure to scrub them VERY well to make sure they're clean!
How about tacos? They're pretty healthy and you can do that instead of the burgers.
For drinks, you can do cranberry juice, grape juice, sprite, etc. If they're being healthy everywhere else though, a treat of cola may be ok, but that's between you and her. You can also do an ice cream bar, get some different variety of ice cream flavors, or do Sorbets being you want to go healthier, and get some toppings and let the girls make their own sundaes.
I hope some of these ideas help and that the girls have a GREAT party!

Answer
That's pretty healthy and sounds yummy. For homemade salad dressing or dip, you can mix caesar dressing and plain nonfat yogurt together -- about 2 parts dressing to 1 part yogurt. It makes the caesar flavor less intense, and cuts the fat a lot. You can substitute plain nonfat yogurt for part or all of the sour cream in most dressing/dip recipes, too, with good results. When my mom makes onion dip for parties, she uses 1 c low-fat sour cream, 1 cup plain nonfat yogurt, and a packet of Lipton onion soup mix. It's darn good!
