Have you ever attended a "Pinterest Party"?
Abby and her friends have been hosting these parties for the past few months...and I finally had the opportunity to join in the fun.
What is a Pinterest Party, you say?
Each hostess chooses a SIMPLE craft or (two, or three) from Pinterest. She gathers the needed materials and has them ready, with instructions, for all who attend.
Each guest brings an appetizer, dessert, etc. made from recipes found on Pinterest....
Here's some of the foods brought to this Pinterest Party:
 |
| Cinnamon Wonton Crisps |
(Cut each wonton wrapper in half and place on a Silpat/Perforated Baking Tray...or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spritz each crisp with canola oil and top with cinnamon/sugar mixture. Bake for 6-7 minutes at 350 degrees. Place on a cooling rack. When cool, store in an airtight container. ***Watch the crisps when baking.They cook quite fast... Serve with fruit salsa.)
 |
| Fruit Salsa (my personal recipe) to go with the Cinnamon Wonton Crackers |
(Mix diced and peeled apples, chopped strawberries and chopped bananas - or any combination of fruit - a little lime juice, a sprinkling of sugar or sweetner, and a couple of dashes of ground cinnamon. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, to allow the flavors to blend.)
 |
| Delicious Trifle |
 |
| Chocolate Chip/Peanut Butter Cup Brownies (in a mini muffin pan) |
Using a brownie mix, spoon batter into a mini muffin baking tray (I use the Demarle at Home mini muffin flexipan and the Perforated Baking Tray). Top with a miniature Reese's Peanut butter cup. Bake according to the directions on the mix box. The batter encloses the PBC for bites of deliciousness!

| Strawberries dipped in White Chocolate, drizzled with blue |
 |
Cheesy Artichoke Bread
Oh this was sooo good! (and I don't like artichoke!) |
 |
Wrapping Pool Noodles with torn denim jeans...Hot glue and persistence.
(And a few burned fingers!) |

 |
| Bow-making 101 |
 |
| Wrapping is "dangerous" work...that glue is HOT! |
 |
| One of the finished wreaths... |
We also made cool flip flops...gift card holders...rice candles...and more. Mostly, we laughed and ate and just enjoyed being together...
This is a fun evening to share with your girlfriends.
Give it a try.....
