Farewell: The Food

We had so much company come into town for Jessica's Farewell, we knew it would be nice to feed them all after church. Because Jessica loves soup (so much that she even wants to eat it in the heat of summer) she requested a soup bar. With the help of Jenni, and my sister Donna, and Jessica's friend Ashley, we were able to make soups, desserts, salad, and veggie trays in time. We did cheat and buy the rolls.

This was the appetizers table. The chips and salsa came from Chili's (so much cheaper!) Lamar's mom, Gay, gave us this awesome triple crockpot. It's so neat because you can keep all three things at different temperatures. And we were able to serve 3 different soups in it.
The dessert bar! Packed with cookies, fudge, and chocolate covered pretzels.
We learned this cool palm tree trick from the Cutco booth at Santa's Workshop this year. It was so fun that Jenni had to replicate it (and make it look better).
The food was a hit, and our guests were able to head back up to Salt Lake on full stomachs.

  1. All the food was so amazing. Since we got a sneak-peak at the dessert table, I laid in bed that night thinking what desserts I wanted to try! :) We loved the yummy soup (especially your cauliflower one I need your recipe), Jenni's palm-tree and the Chili's chips & salsa tip, but most of all we loved spending time with you. :)

  2. Your spread of food was very impressive! I personally loved the cheesecake fudge.
