Celebratin' Tam

I threw a bridal shower for a friend on Sat.
We had a small number of girls,
which seemed to be just perfect
for an "intimates" shower.
We had a good time,
mostly just chatting and
letting girls catch up with each other,
and then a few activities
that turned our attention
to celebrating the Bride.

I had help from another church friend,
as we put the party together,
and she hosted it at her home,
and we had a wonderful array of
food and beverages.
Her husband made sangria,
and we had
Italian Bruschetta,
Cream Cheese rolled in Prosciutto,
Tortilla Pinwheels with Kalamata Olives,
Artichoke Dip with Tortilla Chips,

And I made
Lemon Cream Stuffed Grapes
and
Chocolate Cream Stuffed Strawberries

Being pregnant
I wanted "least" prep
for "maximum" effect!

I got ready-made
JELLO choc. pudding.
I whisked it together
with about 1/2 c. Cool Whip.

I cut an X into each strawberry.
I piped the pudding into the strawberries,
garnished with grated Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar
and that was it!

Around the outside you can see the lemon creamed grapes.
I'm not positive I remember what I did,
but it was something with
Cream Cheese,
Cool Whip,
Lemon Zest,
Minced Mint Leaves,
piped into an X on sweet red grapes.
Also yummy,
but the strawberries were to die for!

For Dessert I made my mom's Danish Pastry
in the shape of a wedding cake
using Tamra's Wedding Colors,
Yellow and Gray.

Hostess, Bride, and Me, the Pregnant MoH.
Fun that we actually matched!
We had a great time,
and I got several comments
from the attendees that it was just fun
that the shower was so laid back
and chill with good food.
Good feedback, if I do say so myself =).
