First, our casual appetizer (which Dear Hubs and I drooled over before they arrived trying to control ourselves) was a 5 layer Greek Dip served with pita chips. So easy and so good, you must try! If you humor me and browse through the pictures below, the recipe for this tasty treat is at the bottom!
Then, with the pizza toppings laid out buffet style, bigs and littles took turns topping their pizza crust with fresh ingredients. After a short bake in the oven, everyone had the pizza that tickled their fancy.
And last but certainly not least ... a cupcake fit for a queen! After years of resisting the purchase, I finally broke down and bought an oversized cupcake pan. It was such a snap to make the cake and frosting it was a breeze. I just may even break this little guy back out next week for Dear Hub's birthday!
