I decided to host a Happy Hour for some of my girlfriends. What to serve?? Wine and beer, obviously, but what about food? After a little planning, this is the menu I came up with:
- shrimp and andouille skewers with remoulade sauce
- Hawaiian pork sliders
- prosciutto wrapped artichoke hearts
- dips and veggies or "the cutest appetizer ever"
- watermelon and grapes
- assorted cheeses and crackers
- raspberry chocolate truffle tarts
- chocolate diped strawberries
- raspberry chocolate truffles
I know that seems like a lot, but I always make way more than I need. I just can't help myself, and it's nice to have leftovers to snack on.
I set everything up on the deck and it was a nice cool night. Good food, good friends, good conversation. What more could a girl ask for?
I love combining different serving pieces. Here I used rustic wood, tin, and white ceramic.
Desserts!!!
The tiered serving piece is a favorite because I can really load it up. The top holds grapes and cherry tomatoes. The second layer holds the Hawaiian pork sliders and the prosciutto wrapped artichoke hearts. The bottom holds the shrimp skewers, watermelon, and assorted bread and crackers.
