Elegant Party Food Ideas

-

I love party planning and baking. A lot. I am a huge fan of huge, crazy, sprinkle cakes. But then I decided to try my hand at throwing a more elegant party. If you want some elegant food ideas, keep scrolling buddy! 

1. We set up a crepe bar. Crepes are one of my signature dishes. We set out chocolate ganache, my homemade Chantilly cream, and some cheese. 

2. Taking regular sandwiches and cutting them into triangles is always a smart move. Quick, easy, and elegant finger food can be created out of a greasy grilled cheese sandwich with just a few cuts, 
3. Here is a cake - with a story. I was planning something crazy - a huge six to seven layered cake with Bavarian cream and slivered strawberries. Well, long story short we ended up with two three layered cakes instead. 
3. Here is the third cake I made - a rich flourless chocolate cake with creamy mouse, raspberries, and a light dusting of powdered sugar. Excluding the flour created an almost brownie-like texture and taste, which was delicious. The berries added a pop of sour and balance, and the powdered sugar, well, the powdered sugar just made it look pretty. 
4. Here we have soft, buttery rolls with an assortment of homemade dips. We have some sweet butter, some garlicky pesto, and a smooth raspberry coulis. 


 5. Finally, we have a vanilla Chantilly cream made with homemade vanilla extract and vanilla seeds fresh from the bean. The cream is garnished with juicy strawberries for a fruity burst. 


I hope these elegant food ideas will help make your next party extra special! Love you all!

Christmas to do list:

 Here is a handy to do list now that the Christmas season is really upon us. I hope this will help you stay organized while appreciating the spirit and joy of this holiday. We all know they can get a little stressful, but if we keep organized and focus on blessings and gratitude, there is nothing we can’t handle.  1. Put up your decorations. You can go minimal or bold but we all know the importance of some decor. Hopefully the second your tree is up you’ll instantly feel more Christmasy.  2. Volunteer or help someone in need. This is a little cat with special needs. Sometimes he wobbles when he walks. I love him. Spread the Christmas love this season.  3. Dream of a white Christmas, and take advantage of the snow days we do have. Snowball fights, snow angels, sledding, the possibilities are endless. Spend these days outside and don’t waste them. Take the days off from responsibilities.  4. Do your Christmas baking. Package up boxes to send to neighbors and family.  5. Test out Christma

A Socially Awkward Teen

-
 Hi! So recently, I decided to go shopping. I’m not normal a huge shopper, but it was my great grandma’s 90th birthday and I needed a nice dress for pictures. So I decided to go to Ross Dress For Less. Don’t judge me. Now, as you probably know, in a Ross Dress For Less, anything goes.  Anyway, I was having trouble finding a dress that I would wear to a 90th birthday party and not a Vegas Night Club. But I just couldn’t. So I decided I would probably wear something I already had.  But, being the homeschooled quarantine socially awkward teen that I am, I was so petrified that someone would think I had done something wrong if I didn’t buy a dress. So I got a dress and headed to the fitting rooms. I got my clothes number and headed to a stall. The lock was a bit janky but I managed. I went back out and headed for my cart but was stopped by a worker who said I needed to give him my card. I did not have my card.  He forced me to go back to the changing room TWICE but I couldn’t find anything

  This is such an easy slime recipe you’ll hardly believe it!  Just mix up 4 cups of shaving cream, four tablespoons of contact solution, and 2 cups of glue. Add food coloring if you want. Then you just mix it until it feels like your arm will fall off. Easy as that.  Have fun slime makers!
