Snickity Snack

The highly anticipated snack day went off without a hitch. In fact, everyone pretty much loved what I made and couldn't stop eating. Along with my famous artichoke dip, I made these chicken cigars with mango sauce. They are made with ground chicken, cumin, poultry seasoning, parsley and paprika all wrapped up in buttery layers of philo dough. These babies were all gone after snack day was done.Also made were these tiny little potato bites. (But not tiny enough to be served in dollhouses) They had blue cheese, bacon and sour cream topped. I baked and fried the tiny potatoes the night before and heated them up in the toaster oven before serving. They were also all gone at the end of snack day.
Of course, I wowed them with my super secret dessert-my chocolate fountain! I made a little bouquet of strawberries and marshmallows and served it with graham cracker crumbs for them to roll their marshmallows in. I have to admit, it was delish.
And it was the most attended snack day I've been to yet...one of my friends kept looking at me and smiling. At one point he said, "You make me smile on the inside." :) Which made me smile on the outside. My new tag line for my catering company should be, "I make skinny people eat." That's what someone said while scarfing down another bite. :)

Hey there, gorgeous! I know it's been a while. It's good to see you're still blogging.

I knew it!

Yay for snack day. Except I'm fasting tomorrow and you got me wishing I wasn't.

Maybe you'll get hired by your bosses to cater company events?
