| I am hosting a Discovery Toy party in my home. The party is at 10am, and I want to serve some food, fruit, muffins, cider & coffee. But, this sounds so blah...any simple (not terribly time consuming) ideas to jazz it up a little?
I also plan on sugar & choc chip cookies for the kids that may be with their parents. |

| Well...if your muffins are "exciting" it doesn't have to be blah. How about sweet potato muffins ( shout if you need a recipe) oat bran muffins with dried chopped apricots and cranberry muffins...and appless erved with one of those corer cutter things, so they can be cut fresh and a sauce for dipping?

| I think assorted pastries, fruit and beverages are just fine. If you can get them in bite size, all the better to allow your guests to try a few varities, |

| I'd add a savory snack in addition to the sweet foods. Cheers, from |

| Yes! That's exactly what I was looking for! I even see a "fall" theme emerging...may I please have your sweet potato muffin recipe? I'm sure it's tried & true, and delicious! Thanks..... |

| Here ya go....the recipe reads for a bread, but put them into muffin cups and reduce cooking time to about 20 to 25 minutes... Makes about 18 to 20 muffins, depending on size. Sweet Potato Pecan Quick Bread |

| I think you're set to go... Muffins or a Bread, with fruit, and cookies for the kids, sounds great. I guess you could add some bite size quiches if you want something else. Or, how about just some nice cheese and crackers? |

| I would take advantage of the great apples that are available. I usually do that this time of year using a tart apple and pair them with a peanut dipping spread which is simple to do ahead: 1 c. salted peanuts Give it a whirl for a few minutes in the food processor until smooth. It is always a hit and is kid friendly. Just be sure to slice alot of apples... Also, I agree to offer something savory as well. I am stuck on the fall theme as you can probably guess. I put out a bar of goat cheese with the following recipe drizzled over. I serve it with Carrs table water crackers. Cranberry Jezabel Jezabel recipe courtesy some nice person on the cooking thread! |
