We hosted a fall dinner party on Saturday night for 4 of my siblings and their significant others. Despite the fact that it was like 90 degrees outside, it was a great success and I had a wonderful time planning it! Lately, the creativity bug has bitten and I'm enjoying it!The Menu:
Appetizers: Brie w/pecans (baked in sourdough) w/fruit,bread cubes, and crackers & Roasted Red Pepper Humous w/pita
1st Course: Romaine Salad tossed w/balsamic vinaigrette and topped w/sauted pears & apples, and toasted walnuts
2nd course: Chili, Cornbread w/honey butter, Cucumber Onion Salad
3rd course (dessert): Pumpkin White Chocolate Cheesecake, Autumn Cheesecake, & Coffee
We used our good china with leaf napkins. I did a fall centerpiece using a smaller pumpkin we had picked from the patch, a variety of gourds, and some craft things that were 60% off at Jo-Ann Fabric. The place card/favors were inspired by fall cookie cutters I found at Target 4/$1. I filled the mini bags with chocolate (a favorite of my family :)), used tags I already had in my scrapbook stuff, & purchased the ribbon at 50% off. They were fun to put together and the boys loved helping to fill the sacks.
