Last Minute Birthday Party “Snacks”

Had a wonderful time at the party last night, met a whole bunch of amazing new friends, totally enjoyed relaxing & actually socializing instead of working the whole time!   I had heard about the party earlier in the week but didn’t find out until Friday just whose birthday it was…and when I did find out the first thing I did was explore the fridges & pantry at the kitchen to see what I could throw together with only 24 hrs (more or less) notice.  Here’s what we ended up with!

Phyllo Bundles w/ Pancetta, Herbed Chevre, & Kale

Baked Caprise de Dieux Cheese w/ Fresh Thyme, Berries, & Currants (marinated in wildflower honey & vanilla) with toasted Lavender Lemon Tea Biscuits

Peppered Chevre & Quark with Tamarind Mint Strawberry “Salsa”
