Today I hosted my annual summer open house, which is such a fun way to connect with friends and treat us all to some delicious food. I had friends from work/school, neighbors, and folks I know through Global Connections. To drink, I served infused water (2 kinds: mandarin kiwi and sparkling cherry lime), decaf iced tea, and a pot of afternoon escape hot tea. For savories, we had veggie & cream cheese tea sandwiches, roasted red pepper and cheese dip (in the mini-crock pot), veggies, pita chips, and crackers to dip, and parmesan pesto scones. On the sweet side, we had pumpkin chocolate chip bread, chocolate zucchini bread, toasted hazelnut cookies, lime bars, and fruit. I have some delicious leftovers to enjoy for the next few days, too. Really, I'm so thankful to have people I enjoy spending time with and a home to invite them to.
