After a 3-month hiatus, I’m finally back! Hope you didn’t miss me too much. 😛
My next few posts will be about semi-DIY house projects I undertook over the last month, but first, I wanted to share the food from my recent housewarming. This past Saturday, I was happy to have nearly 20 friends stop by my new place—although now I have way too much alcohol in the house! Which is not the worse problem to have. 🙂 Being newly single is rough, but I’m very thankful to have such a great support network.
Now, here’s all the food I semi-made:
1. Pears with goat cheese and cranberries by Sweet Potato Chronicles
2. Brie stuffed mushrooms by The Pioneer Woman – this didn’t have as much flavor as I would have liked with all the yummy ingredients involved.
3. Eggplant appetizer by Laylita’s Recipes – this was the first time I used my stove top grill pan and there was crazy amounts of smoke. I gotta figure out what I did wrong before I use it again.
4. Baked spinach dip bread bowls by Picky Palate – except I just filled the bowls with store-bought dip
5. Pumpkin fried wontons from Steamy Kitchen
6. Costco chicken salad on crackers – I needed something easy and meaty 🙂
Then of course, the cocktails:
- Fall cocktail of apple cider, rum, and pomegranate juice by French Larkspur
- Caramel apple shots by That’s so Michelle – super yummy and easy to make
Here’s a quick peek of my new place, more posts to come soon. Til then, much love!

Your new place is so you!!! Love it!!! I definitely want to try the apple jello shots. LOL!
Love your new place Linda! Your food was amazing as well.
Your apt is super cute! And never underestimate the power of alcohol as a “support network” as well, hehe. Those jell-o shots seriously blew my mind. Way to think outside of the Dixie cup!
Wow. I love your spread. That dresser is so cute! I also noticed the cloth napkins and love that a lot too!
