Fancy Vegan Party Food

This food was GONE by the end of the night. It was like a vegan hurricane swirled by the table and snagged everything up. My sweet husband and brother in law did all of the cooking. Here’s what was on the table…

Chocolate dipped strawberries

Stuffed Mushrooms

Lemon Bars

Strawberry Tarts

Olive Tampenade

Bruschetta

Fresh Grapes

Cheese and Cracker Platter

Firefly lights make an evening magical, and they’re really very easy to do.

What you need:

Battery Operated Flickering Lights

Little Black Doggie Trash Bags for cleaning up…well, you know.

String or twine

DIY Firefly Lights

Not the best picture, but you get the idea. All you need to do is tie the trash bag around the lights, stick the flame part through, and tie some yarn or string. You can just place them in your yard, but hanging makes it look like they’re swaying and moving around. We placed them all around our yard, and when the lights went out our guests were really delighted.

To add a little more ambiance, we played music that was just sound effects of crickets chirping.

Midsummer Party Decorations

Big T and I are having a Midsummer Night’s Dream party in a couple of weeks. I’m in charge of the decorations, so I took Little T to the Dollar Tree yesterday to see what I could find.

Dollar Store Goblets

I was really excited about these goblets. In any other setting, they’d probably look overdone, but I think they’re perfect for a fairy party. I thought for a while about how they’d be used best, and eventually decided on having them at the entrance to our party. The plan is to hand them to guests as they enter. I’m going to label the goblets with a tag that says “love potion”, with maybe a quote about love potions from “Midsummer Night’s Dream”. When I got home, I started playing with the platter they’re going to be served on.

Love Potion Tray=Take 1

I put fake rose petals on the tray and thought it looked nice. I’m going to try and find some dry ice so there can be smoke coming around the tray to make it look a little more magical. But then I thought it should smell nice too, so I picked some mint from our garden and scattered it around the tray.

Tray with Mint

It smells and looks amazing! I think it will be the perfect way to set the atmosphere for our event. At first I thought we’d make bellinis for the goblets, but I’m worried about them sitting outside. Michelle suggested champagne with a raspberry or blackberry on top. So, that’s where we are. It’s definitely coming along.
