I recently hosted a cocktail party at my house to celebrate
the New Year and my birthday. It was my
second time having company since moving this past summer. The first time was for Hanukkah with my family
and only involved ordering some pizza from Moccios and making a colorful
salad! This time I needed a little help
which is where Michelle @ My Inspired Table comes in. I wanted to keep it simple and she offered up
some great suggestions. I didn’t have to
worry about drinks because I had asked my friends to bring a favorite bottle of
wine. Well, the day of the party I had
prepared nothing! I left work early and
headed straight to Mariano’s in Vernon Hills, I love that place! Following Michelle’s tips I headed straight to the cheese section
and my new friend Jennifer was eager to help!
She not only picked out a few delicious cheeses but also a colorful
assortment of olives and other goodies from the antipasto bar and a nice
baguette. I also splurged for some great
shrimp and I was in and out in a flash.
I decided once I got home to use my china, crystal and silver. I felt like such a grown-up!
