What a spread.
Last weekend, we hosted a surprise 30th anniversary party for my parents. It was a HUGE success. Over 30 people came and honored the happy couple, and to top it off, Mom and Dad had no idea that we had this planned! I served brunch theme food, including Bacon Quiche Tarts and Quiche Lorraine Muffins. I know it looks like a lot of work, but there are two tricks: 1. Bake almost everything on a free day and freeze. 2. Don't be afraid of store-bought delights.
Besides the recipes mentioned above, we also had:
- Whole Wheat Banana Bread
- Ham & Cheese Bake
- Veggie Dip
- Fruit Dip
- Brownies (from a Ghiradeli box)
- Costco-bought Cinnamon Rolls (Mac almost likes them better than my homemade ones!)
- Aunty Christy's Cinnamon Muffins
The dips were delicious and easy to make; an easy must-have for any gathering.
Fruit Dip:
Cream together 1-(8 oz) package of cream cheese (softened) and 1 jar of marshmallow creme. Simple as that.
Lemon-Dill Veggie Dip:
Ingredients:
3/4 c. mayonnaise (I usually avoid mayo at all costs, but it's hard to make a creamy dip without it)
3/4 c. sour cream
4 T. fresh lemon juice
4 oz. crumbled feta
2 T. fresh dill
Salt and Pepper
Mix all of the ingredients well. Again, simple as that.
