I had a beautiful list of wonderful goodies for the wedding reception - the Bob (?) get's an email from the Bride - she's worried; they want "plain" food. They really want pigs in a blanket, a tray with American cheese and pepperoni, and lumpia (plain?????).
The list now consists of:
***Torta - butter & cream cheese combined and layered with
pesto and decorated with pine nuts & basil leaves.
Served with crostini and crackers.
***Pepperoni Pinwheels - puff pastry spread with honey dijon
mustard, pepperoni, sprinkled with asiago cheese and
rolled, sliced, and baked.
Chicken, apple, and cheddar empandaitas - self explanatory
**Mini Mac & cheese - done in a mini muffin tin
**Mini bacon cheese burger meatloves -(I'll post the recipe)
garnished with dill pickle thinly sliced.
Capressi Skewers - fresh Moz. balls, cherry tomatoes, and
basil leaves on a skewer.
"Dogs in a Duvet" Still playing with this one.
Pretzel bites - darling little home made pretzels - may make
here and take.
Still under consideration and up for trial:
Corn salad in mini tortilla cups
Savory French toast bites - made with brioche
Sliced baguette with Pimento cheese (from the pimento bacon
cheeseburgers), and ??????
???????????
Those with the *** are tried and true, always a hit and requested. Those with ** were tried for the football games this weekend and a few of the others are going to be tried for the SuperBowl.
Any suggestions - am I too over the top??? French onion dip and Lays potato chips or Fritos and bean dip are close to landing on the list. I was going to do Jean's Sesame Chicken - may still add it back. I have to call the bride this evening and let her know what gives - and find out what she doesn't want.
