We started to plan an engagement party and thought through a menu that would be delicious but require little work at the time of the event. Here is what was put together… keeping in mind we will just make smaller versions of the skewers so they are bite sized.
Tomato Basil Bruschetta
Tomato season really livens up the menu and when I am serving a 🍅 Tomato & Burrata Salad there is always left over tomato ends that aren’t good looking enough it make the dish. I will cut out the core and chop the tomatoes and mix in red onion, basil and put one a mixture of…

It’s too delicious to pass up but do you really need a sheet of pastry dough drenched with cheese, sauce…
Ice Cream Sandwiches
We do a lot of work related meals and hate to have them actually 100% work related. Washington is known for the “salon” dinner where people sit around and talk policy all night, which can be important, but there should also be some room to just relax and enjoy the night. I think the menu…
