Carrie's Shower

The new house was officially christened this past weekend as I hosted a bridal shower for my friend, Carrie. Not only did that mean shoving all unpacked boxes and junk into empty closets, but the opportunity was also presented for me to use my new standing mixer and cook my first significant amount of food in the new kitchen. Significant is used liberally with the menu only including roasted red pepper pimento cheese crostini, honey-lime fruit salad, gorgonzola-toasted pecan-fig canapes, and vanilla buttercream cupcakes.
