Teddy Bear Picnic!

Who: Teddy bears galore
What: Dinner party
When: Last weekend
Where: My house
Why: Cause food is awesome

I hosted a dinner party last weekend.  Theme?  Teddy Bear Picnic – entry required a furry creature.  Everything was bite sized stuff, mostly veggie friendly.  Pictures!

Stuffed mushrooms
I made it a bit too salty, but still really good.

Roasted Ricotta Roma Tomatoes [oooh alliteration!] 
Did not like this very much.

Vietnamese Salad Rolls with Peanut Sauce
LOVED the peanut sauce – just needed some actual peanuts in it

Hot Spinach Cheese Dip being nommed by a “guest”

Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus


Turkey sliders with jalapeño jack cheese

Guests of honour

Also made some mushroom phyllo bundles, but I forgot to take a photo of it.  I screwed up with the phyllo pastry, but it still turned out okay.  Never used phyllo in recent memory.  Think I used it once ages ago when I was baking with my mom.  Dessert was fondue with gummy bears, pretzels, strawberries and bananas.  I made cupcakes, but instead of making frosting, we just dipped it in the fondue too.  YUM!

Dinner wasn’t very balanced.  I wasn’t all that happy with everything.  Much room for improvement for next time.  Appetizers were never my thing.  It was interesting… =\
