Warming a house…

Recently, I had a house (condo/apartment) warming party. Granted, it was 6 months after I moved in, but hey…better late than never! Me and my OCD self planned and prepped for a good month prior to the shin-dig (insert single jokes here). Menu, color scheme, drinks, oh my! Over all, the party was a success – bringing together all different groups of friends.

Back to my menu and color scheme and drinks. I opted to do a black/white/silver/zebra theme. Plates, napkins, silverware, displays, candy, labels, even my outfit.  (insert second round of single jokes here).

I’ll apologize now – I forgot to take photos of EVERYTHING (too busy being a hostess!)

Apple Bars.  Can you say ‘only 3 ingredients’?!

Caprese Skewers.  Italians do it best.

The bloggers (and longest lasting party guests!)

I also had homemade pulled pork sliders, warm corn dip, orange glazed turkey meatballs, homemade chicken nugs, homemade cheese sticks, mint cheesecake brownies, peanut butter cookies, trio of dips and chips, vodka soaked gummy bears (and you KNOW the gummy bears were black and white.  Ok not really black – but grape and black cherry), pumpkin dip, ham salsa pickle roll-ups (for my friend Raine…not sure anyone else was able to try any!), and a mojito bar!  I was worried I didn’t have enough food or drinks.

To all of those who attended, ate, drank and warmed my house (condo/apartment) – I THANK YOU!

Until my next soiree…cheers!
