Preppy Wedding Shower - Part II

If you’re planning on throwing the perfectly preppy shower, chances are you’ll need some great party food. Here are some of my staples. They’re easy and always crowd pleasers.

I’ll post tomorrow on a couple more things to consider when planning your shower.

Aunt Gracie’s Ham Biscuits
1 1/2 lb. Virginia Country Ham (Preferably Todd’s Country Ham)
1 1/2 lb. Swiss cheese
3 pkg. Pepperidge Farms rolls (small rolls)
2 sticks butter softened
3 tbsp. prepared mustard
3 tsp. poppy seeds
2 tbsp. minced onion

Slice rolls down the middle. Melt Butter. Mix in mustard, poppy seed and onion.

Spread the 1/3 of the mixture of both halves of the rolls. Layer ham and cheese liberally on both sides. Put rolls back together and use a knife to cut out each individual roll. Wrap all rolls in tin foil.

Repeat with the other two packages of rolls.

Bake at 325 degrees until cheese melts. Best served warm.


Mom’s easy veggie dip
1 package Knorr ® Vegetable recipe mix
1 container (16 oz.) sour cream

Mix together well. Chill two hours before serving.

This is a great with a veggie tray. I prefer serving with sea salt bagel chips.

Erin’s Strawberry Hill Smashed Mimosa
8 cups chilled champagne
4 cups chilled fresh orange juice
1 can of ginger ale
1/2 cup Triple Sec
Halved orange slices

Just before serving, stir champagne slowly into orange juice. Add triple sec and ginger ale into the mixture and stir. Use orange slices to garnish your pitcher.

Erin’s famous mimosa would look just charming in this Issac pitcher from Target.
