Tonight the SWE monthly Executive Council meeting was held at my house. My love to cook led me to create a beautiful spread of food for everyone :) 11 people attended, which pretty much maxed out the dining room space! I went with a bit of a healthy appetizer, dessert and crostini theme ;)
On the menu was:
On the menu was:
- Veggies with various dips
- Carrots, Celery & Cucumber
- Hummus
- Chip Dip
- Sweet & Spicy Dip from Iowa Girl Eats
- Watermelon
- Lasagna Cups from Danica's Daily
- Ricotta and Tomato Crostinis from Culinary Colleen
- Chickpea Artichoke Crostinis from Side of Sneakers
- Peach Crostinis from Iowa Girl Eats
- Coconut Date Balls from Daily Garnish
- Chocolate Cherry Balls from Oh She Glows
I even labeled everything :)
AND I got to use all the new serving dishes from my bridal shower!!! :D
My favorites were the Coconut Date Balls - they had orange zest in them which really made the flavors pop. The Tomato and Ricotta Crostini was also good along with the Peach Crostini. I think I made some solid choices ;) Oh and other than the food, the meeting was productive as well. hehe
My word of advice to anyone else planning a group dinner on a weeknight - prep the night before! I spent a few hours last night making the dessert and prepping all the other ingredients so that I could be as stress free as possible this evening putting it all together.
Have a good weekend!
