Back to School Dinner

I love any reason to celebrate and going back to school is a perfect reason for a party.  This year three out of my four kids will be at the same school.  

We set up a table outside for the dinner.  I wanted lots of fun colors for the decor.  The candle holders at the center of the table can be found in our Etsy shop here.

I love having crafty neighbors and one of my favorites let me borrow these fabric flowers she made.  The fabric is cut, wrapped, and sewn together with flower wire for stems.  The flowers were placed into groups of threes in glass bottles.

We kept the menu pretty simple.

This berry salad is one of our families favorites.  So easy!

Berry Salad Recipe:

Lettuce

Sliced strawberries

Blueberries

Brianna's Poppy Seed Dressing

Pine nuts or sunflower seeds (optional)

1. Toss all ingredients just before serving.  

Enjoy!

The main part of our meal was these pretzel bun sliders.  These pretzel buns are so yummy!  They come in a bag from the bakery section at Costco. 

Pretzel Bun Sliders Recipe:

2. Place slices of your favorite cheese on each patty. 

2. Grill the slider sized patties until they are cooked how you like them.

We also have a simple family theme for the year.  More details soon.
