Sara's having a baby! And it's a girl - I love girls.
Since we all live in different states, and it's rare indeed that we all are together, we decided to have a baby shower for Sara the day before Em's wedding.
We were still missing a few of our girls (and we did miss you), but most of us were there...
Mom was nice enough to let me do the food, so I spent the morning making a horrendous mess in her kitchen (which J and Peter O. cleaned up for me, thanks boys). But out of the chaos came a lovely spread...
Spinach Artichoke Dip - Baked Brie with Apple Compote - Ham and Cheese Sliders - Fruit Kabobs -Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Cupcakes
I really regret not getting individual pictures of the food, but considering everything that was going on, I'm glad I at least snapped this one.
Leigh-Ann made the fruit kabob bouquet, and it was the most gorgeous dish on the table.
I don't want to tell you what you should do, but...you should run to the store and buy the ingredients for the ham and cheese sliders. I've looked at them a number of times on Annie's Eats, but had my doubts about the mustard sauce on top. When my food friend at Apron Appeal gave them a glowing review, I decided it was time to try them. They were so. good. I used Rhodes frozen dough for the slider roll, easy and yummy.
The food was wonderful. I think those cupcakes kept me going through the rest of the night! You did awesome and it was so much fun to have almost everyone there!
ReplyDeleteOh, tell Sara congrats! I had no idea that she was pregnant. This is exciting. Wish I was there.... The food looked good.
ReplyDeleteThe spread looks great! I always walk away wishing I had one more photo.... especially when it's food for entertaining. I'm always putting something together right at the end and in a rush to get it on the table that I forget to get pictures or something like that. I filled my own raspberry's 2 nights ago, very easy...what to do with the left over chocolate?
