Foooooood

We had our tasting with our caterer a month or so ago, and man, my parents are STILL talking about how good the food was! They came into town, and had planned to go to the tasting and then out to dinner. Oh, parents, you have so much to learn about wedding planning! :) We left STUFFED and really, really excited about our wedding food.

I'll try to paint some word-pictures to help describe how epically awesome D'Vine Cuisine is! Here's what will be on our hors d'oeuvres menu:

• Stuffed Mushrooms — Mmmmmm. Two-bite-sized mushrooms absolutely STUFFED with goat cheese and bacon! Mmmm, bacon. Mmmushrooms! I was sold before they were even served.

• Double Tomato Bruschetta — A light, tomato-y yumfest! Very rich-flavored tomatoes and light crusty bread. I think there was some kind of cheese on these too, but in my food coma afterward I may have forgotten some details.

• Chicken Quesadillas — Since most of the hors d'oeuvres are well-seasoned, we wanted something that would appeal to palates that aren't necessarily big on some of our other items. We're going to have several children at the wedding, and I have a friend who has sensitive taste buds, so we want them to enjoy the food as well. These were pretty simple and self-explanatory.

• Mini Portobello Mushroom & Sun-Dried Tomato Quesadillas — Are you sensing a theme here yet? I'm totally in love with mushrooms and tomatoes. But not to worry! Of the many people who were at our tasting (me, MOH Rachel, and my parents; Matt and his parents) several of them were initially hesitant about some of these items, but ended up loving it all anyway!

• Brie Rounds on crackers: Pesto & Pine Nuts, Mango Chutney, and Cranberry Pecan — Okay, this was the one I was most hesitant about. See ... I really don't like cheese. (Insert collective gasp here.) Psh, whatever. These melty, melty brie rounds had deeeelish toppings! It didn't have such a cheesy flavor like sandwich cheese, for example, so that's probably why I liked them so much. All of us had a different favorite; I looooved the pesto (pesto is the besto!), my mom loved the mango chutney, and Matt's mom loved the cranberry pecan! Matt was concerned this was maybe too much cheese, but we couldn't decide on one to cut! Oops. :)

I just ate lunch and I'm already hungry again thinking about all this food! We'll also have tea and water service, and we'll be serving beer and wine, so I'm pretty sure everyone will be just as sated after the reception!

What were you most excited about from your menu?
