Hub and I hosted a small family get-together last month, and it really reminded me how much I truly do LOVE to entertain. I have to do it more often: at the drop of a hat and for absolutely no reason at all 🙂
Lemonade and Peach Iced Tea
I don’t remember where I bought these glass beverage jars – Crate & Barrel, maybe? HomeGoods? – but they are definitely one of my entertaining staples. Although they don’t leak unless I forget to turn the lever to the “off” position, I usually place the jars on a cooling rack with a bar mop underneath to catch any condensation and drips.
Hot Pink Tulips!
Silverware in Mini Terracotta Pots
The napkin rings, menu, and butterflies were crafted from regular card stock and scrapbook paper. I don’t actually scrapbook, but I can’t resist pretty papers.
Menu + More Pink Tulips
Chicken Salad Sandwiches (served on both croissants and honey whole wheat toast)
Rosemary Roasted Potatoes and Lemon & Garlic Green Beans
I ordered chicken fingers from Publix, just in case the kiddies in attendance weren’t feeling chicken salad sandwiches. They weren’t, lol.
Strawberry Cream Cake
For dessert, we served homemade pecan pie, which I forgot to photograph, and this crowd pleasing strawberry cream cake from Whole Foods.
This chicken salad is unbelievable! I love it
Thanks, Babe! You’re always the biggest fan of my kitchen creations, lol 🙂
