Party Time!

B and I were lucky enough to host his fund's Christmas party this year so as you can expect, we had a total ball! Here are some pictures of the spread, hope you enjoy!

 We finally had the occasion to use our auction find for some Christmas Punch!

 Everything fit perfectly on the island!

I tried to make it pretty simple so I wasn't a stress ball!

• Christmas Punch - Ginger Beer, Apple Cider, and Cranberry Juice with orange slices and floating cranberries.
• Cheese and Crackers - Tip - Cheese tray from Costco was by far the best deal, we are still eating cheese from this! I also got 4 different types of crackers to give options, just presented them in a nice bowl
• Deviled Eggs - The easiest thing to make because everyone loves it - I alternated with chives and Sriracha on top for a little spice
• Roasted Chicken Skewers with Spicy Peanut Sauce - Just took chicken tenders and added: Salt, Pepper, Cayenne, and Tumeric. Slid them on skewers and broiled them until done! The Peanut Sauce was a total inadvertent shortcut, found an Archer Farms brand sauce in the pantry and decided to not press my luck with making my own. It was fabulous!
• Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus - Super simple, cut Prosciutto in half, wrapped around asparagus spear and baked at 400 for 10 minutes - BAM!
• Brie, Apple, and Onion Flatbread - used my pizza dough and stretched it thin - added sliced Brie over the whole top and grilled onions, just sliced the apples so they were still crunchy. Bake at 500 for 15 minutes and done!
• Indian Turkey Sliders  with a Hawaiian roll and topped with Arugula - tasty and simple
• Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting - the cupcakes were from a box because in my experience, red velvet is a tricky cake so leave it to Mr. Hines! The Cream Cheese Frosting is super easy and it is totally homemade - Beat Cream Cheese with Powdered Sugar and Vanilla Extract, and done. I do not have a pastry bag so I do it old school with a ziploc with the end snipped off. Throw some sprinkles on and we have party-worthy treats
