Home Party 3/26

I'm having a Lia Sophia/purse open house party at my house Saturday. I am selling the Lia Sophia myself, & have another consultant coming in for the purses. So I have been to plenty of parties & have seen a lot food goodies but want something related to each other or something, you know?

 

I did a chocolate-food-themed open house in November for Christmas shopping, & the last home party I hosted in February, I did lemon bars/puppy chow/cookies/desert spread with graham crackers.

 

What would you want to eat at my party this weekend? Any fun themes that sound good or fun?

Re: Home Party 3/26

  • Since spring is coming up you could do a fun floral theme possibly.  That might take a lot of work, but it could be fun. 

    I always enjoy a good fruit pizza with all the yummy fruits (I usually use kiwi, blueberries, bananas and strawberries).  That always makes it feel like spring/summerish.  You could do melon balls, fruit pizza, apple slices, etc.

    Hope it helps :o)

  • Sounds good! Do you have a recipe for your fruit pizza? I have had it several times at parties & such, but have never made it.
  • I just use the Kraft Fruit Pizza Recipe.  Here it is:

    Ingredients:

    1 pkg. (16.5 oz.) refrigerated sliceable sugar cookies, sliced
    1 pkg.  (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
    1/4 cup sugar
    1/2 tsp.  vanilla
    4 cups assorted cut-up fruit (kiwi, strawberries, blueberries, drained canned mandarin oranges)
    1/4 cup  apricot preserves, pressed through sieve to remove lumps
    1 Tbsp. water
     
    HEAT oven to 375?F.

    LINE 12-inch pizza pan with foil; spray with cooking spray. Arrange cookie dough slices in single layer in prepared pan; press together to form crust. Bake 14 min.; cool completely. Invert onto plate; carefully remove foil. Turn crust over.

    BEAT cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with mixer until well blended. Spread over crust.

    TOP with fruit. Mix preserves and water; brush over fruit. Refrigerate 2 hours.

    I personally have never put the apricot preserves on the fruit pizza.  Talking about fruit pizza makes me want to go make some...yummy!

  • Yikes! The apricots sound...complicated :-P I think I'll skip those!
  • That's why I always skipped it!  LOL
