Celebrate Fall With A Harvest Party

Appetizer – Buy a pre-made platter of assorted cheeses and cut seasonal apples and display on a white platter or seasonally decorated platter
Serve the cheese and apples with gourmet crackers (not saltines 🙂 )
Main Meal – Make Squash Soup a few days ahead and then heat up in a crock pot on the day of the party. Serve the soup with warm french bread (just melt some butter on top and serve warm)
Kids Main Meal – Kids can eat the squash soup or you might want to make a simple grilled cheese (you can even buy the pre-made grilled cheeses in the frozen section of your grocery store).
Dessert – Individual Apple Pies
Drinks – Serve soft drinks in old fashion glass bottles. Make the bottles extra special by tying raffia ribbon into a bow around the bottle (you can buy this at any craft store – it’s just thin brown paper ribbon).
