Tomorrow brings the baby shower I have spent the week preparing for. I love to do things by hand and when friends and I decided to make the food, I jumped at the chance to do some creative cooking. I am contributing the standard cheese and crackers and I am making various breads and dips/spreads to accompany them. I settled on 3 breads (no photos of them, they are not baked yet but maybe tomorrow) a foccocia, an olive rosemary and Soulemama's WHO Bread. Each bread has toppings meant to match it. For the foccocia, I have some bruchetta, a roasted red pepper one and a simple tomato. For the WHO bread, I made 3 different flavored butters, a sweet honey vanilla, a savory sun dried tomato and a tart lemon butter. Lastly, to match the olive rosemary, I made a simple herb infused olive oil.
Of course, I have some photos to share...
My wrapping is inspired by the signature wrapping of French Press Knits. Aren't her packages amazing?
Inside we have something nestled in tissue paper...
It is a hat and mittens!
I also made some bath salts to give to the guests as favors. The salts are a blend mixed with relaxing lavender and chamomile oils. I added dried lavender, chamomile and rose petals to the mix before jarring them. They smell heavenly.
After all our hard work, Kennedy and I took the time to do some raking outside, our front yard really needed it.
After all our hard work, we took a few moments to enjoy the sunshine.
