Recently, I was invited by Coffee Mate to host a party to try their newest flavors (or any flavors) of creamer. The event was called Free Flavor Friday. I was so excited to have put in an application to host and was actually having a little technical difficulty and was unable to log in to set up my party page and the invitation expired. I was very disappointed but to my delight they emailed a week later saying that there were a few openings and I could set up my party page and the Bistro Baking kit had already been shipped to me. They had several party themes such as game night, bistro, ect. Because I bake a lot I chose the one that would get the most use and better suited my personality. I set out to antique shops and found a few linens that went with the French cafe and bistro theme and put out silk roses in wine bottles, teddy bears and chocolate and a few other Valentine touches. I served homemade chicken salad on French bread, heart shaped blueberry muffins, gingersnaps (to dip in the coffee), pimiento cheese and crackers and of course coffee. The creamers that I chose for the party: Creme Brulee (of course, since it was supposed to be a French Bistro), Vanilla Caramel, White Chocolate Latte, and Coconut Cream. There was a whole bunch of yummy going on!!! Because there was no real holiday and no better excuse to get some friends and family together (and, not to mention, sugar up my kids before my mother-in-law took them with her) I counted myself unusually blessed that Coffee Mate would choose to allow me to throw a party. If for no other reason, it was really nice to have a French Cafe in my home for one night and give us a reason to get together, enjoy each other's company, and sip on a good cup of coffee made great by Coffee Mate.
