There used to be a group of 4 friends that went to lunch after church on Sunday.  Well it has grown to a group of 12 (try getting a table for that many on Sunday at noon!) so this year it was going to be impossible to schedule an evening for a Christmas party.  We decided to have a Saturday brunchand Chinese auction.  I am taking the Bountiful Brunch Pizza it is my FAV PC breakfast dish!   I use my large bar pan for a big group.(We have a person who is a pickier eater than I am...imagine... so I am taking my small bar pan and making him his own without cheese!)

I also love making pancakes in the bar pan.  I did that last year at work for our Christmas bruch. Quick and simple.  Get the complete Pancake mix and use Soda water to make the pancake fluffy.  A bottle of the microwaveable syrup and you're good!

I just had my Hanukkah party here.  I used so many SA pieces!  I used the rectangular platter with handles for the Latkes (used the cookware to make while everyone chatted) - the tongs to serve, the rectangular stand with 2 medium bowls for the sour cream and applesauce.  I microwaved the chicken in the covered deep stone (my Sister in law wants it now since her son LOVED the chicken).  I baked a huge ziti-with meatballs dish in my rectangular stone - served with large serving spatula.  I made the julienne vegetables (zucchini, carrots, yellow squash sauteed in grill pan with our oil and a clove of spritzed garlic) sreved in rectangular platter. TWO guests had to know how to make it, they were so impressed! 

 

Apps:  cheese and crackers on little cheese board with bistro set.  A pesto sauce in small bowl with cubed beer bread (tastefully simple but I vow to try ours next time) on medium square.  Vegetable platter on large square with 2 small bowls in center with dips.  Candy in small bowls with bamboo small spoons.  I had an olive & small marinated fresh mozz. tray too. 

 

Dessert:  I had 2 medium plates on the top & bottom of the stands filled with different cookies.  The center was a small plate (I was out of other pieces) filled with strawberries.  And I made the Molten Chocolate Skillet Brownie for the first time!  I had the brownie mix made b/f the party started so when we started opening gifts it went in the oven.  :)
