Hosting a Luncheon At Home

My family and I love hosting parties and entertaining at home, but when we get to host over 25 priests from the Diocese of San Diego in our home, that is always an extra special treat and blessing! This September will be our third year hosting at our home.

Here's a look back at last year's annual luncheon:

I created a natural runner for the extra long table out of vines from our yard.

One of the reasons why we love entertaining at home is getting to cook all the food. All of the food was homemade. Our first course consisted of: Stuffed Mushrooms; Bacon Wrapped Dates; Italian Sausage Polenta Bites, and Baked Fontina.

Maricel's Desserts prepared all the amazing desserts: French Apple Tart; Chocolate Pecan Pie; Peach, Blueberry Coconut Crumble; and a make your own pie a la mode or affogato station with homemade ice cream!
