Feasting on Fresh

Last night we hosted a potluck dinner with some friends from church called "Feasting on Fresh." I adore potluck dinners, but always leave feeling so weighed down. So this time, we asked people to bring food inspired by whole, unrefined foods. I didn't want people to get weighed down by "rules" of what they could or could not bring, but just bring something in the spirit of the evening. We had such a great time, and the most amazing food!!! (See picture below: Please note that this is too many lemons. I could have added some sugar and called it lemonade.)The party started at 5. All afternoon we delayed the setting up, due to a 10% chance of rain. Finally, at 5:00 (as guests started to arrive), we decided to move indoors. It was a little kink in our plans, but it worked out just fine. We ate quinoa salad, russian carrot salad, collard greens & cornbread, wheat berry salad, kohlrabi/apple slaw, coleslaw, kale & white bean soup, cucumber & tomato salad, yellow squash & goat cheese custard, radish dip & crackers, cowboy caviar, asparagus, fruit salsa & chips, orzo & broccoli salad. And I'm probably forgetting some other delicious foods!! Dinner was topped off with some amazing cupcakes, cookies, pie and freshly whipped cream!
I made radish dip (I can't find the recipe online, but it's radishes, cream cheese, & green onion) and also summer squash goat cheese custard (pictured above).

Are you a church friend who would enjoy "Feasting on Fresh"? We invited people we thought would enjoy it, but we hope to do this again! If you would like to join us next time, let me know. We'd love spending time with you!!
