This August I will be graduating, like many other college and high school students will be doing this year! No matter if grad season for you is in May, August, or December, you will definitely need some good food to serve at your graduation party! It is a big accomplishment to graduate and you deserve to celebrate! Try some of these Fill Your Plate recipes* out on your big day!
Appetizers
Mini Personalized Charcuterie Boards
Cheeseball served with crackers
Artichoke dip served with pita bread (NOT pita chips. Trust me, pita bread is WAY better!)
Veggie Tray and Dip
Fruit Cups
Chick-fil-A nuggets and sauces
Hummus served with pita bread (I like to buy mine from the Bistro in Queen Creek, AZ)
Drinks
Alcoholic
Non-alcoholic
Try serving sparkling apple cider, sparkling red or white grape juice, or the sparkling raspberry apple cider made by Martinelli’s. You can also mix sparkling apple cider with orange juice to make mocktail mimosas.
Desserts
Bomb Flourless Chickpea Blondies
Butterscotch Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Chocolate Donuts with Strawberry Glaze
Quick & Easy (and Yummy) Apple Tart
Salted Cashew Dark Chocolate Chunk Blondies
Chocolate Strawberry Nutella Cake
Itty Bitty Nutella Cakes (I recommend making fresh whipped cream instead of using Cool Whip)
