Today I am joining Yvonne at Stone Gable for On the Menu Monday link party.
This weekend we had a small casual gathering with friends at our place. I really wanted to keep it simple, without too much cooking and cleaning afterwards. So I came up with a simple finger foods menu.
Deviled Eggs (common party food, they are so easy to make).
Cheddar Cheese Puffs (you can see the recipe here. Following the suggestion of my mother-in-law, I added a bit of Dijon mustard to the dough. It turned out very nice).
Double Tomato Bruschetta (I will post the recipe later this week).
Spanakopita (store-bought, I already had it in my freezer).
Strawberries and grapes (fresh fruit is always nice).
Lemonade (store-bought, but next time I’ll make it myself).
We had a nice evening outside, under our pergola, listening to classical guitar recordings, chatting and nibbling on these delicious finger foods.

It looks delicious! It is amazing that you have time to prepare such great meals with two young children in the house...
Many times I enjoy nibbling, "grazing" these kinds of finger foods just as much or more than a having a regular meal. Everything looks delish!
I really enjoy finger foods more than a sit-down dinner. These all sound wonderful.
Dearest Olga,
You got a very smart choice of finger foods! Some made and even perfected the recipe from your mother-in-law. Sounds really yummy with the Dijon musterd added; clever idea!
Fresh fruit always makes for a perfect presentation and is very much appreciated.
Have a great week ahead. Just finished cleaning up after a dinner for friends, we enjoyed the Sunday evening!
Lots of love,
Mariette
Sounds like a great meal! I haven't had bruschetta yet this season and really look forward to it:@)
Looks like you had a wonderful party. I have found having appetizers and cocktails much easier-less stress and gives you more time with your friends. My favorite kind of party!
