We have been anxiously awaiting the start of the 2012 Olympics in London . . . it's such an exciting time! So we decided to make some yummy treats to enjoy during the opening ceremony - treats with an international flair!
Tostones (fried plantains) . . . Lael learned how to make these in her co-op cooking class and insisted that we include them in our menu!
Spanikopita are little pockets of spinach and feta goodness surrounded by layers of phyllo dough . . . I'd never made them before, but we all loved them!
Queso fundido - a hot cheese dip with roasted red peppers and chorizo sausage - another family favorite!
For dessert, we HAD to have an Olympic flag cake - Lael and Jaden did a great job making the rings!
(For the Beijing Olympics, we made the rings out of M&Ms - but we decided that we like the fruit version much better!)
Unfortunately, once the party - and the opening ceremony - started, we got caught up in all the excitement and I forgot to take any more pictures! Ooops!
