Baby Shower!

Yesterday some friends and I threw a baby shower for our good friend, Luci. It's always fun to make it back to Wymount and see old friends. We ate three different kinds of fondue (cheese, chocolate, and caramel) and cheesecake. Here are some pics:

Thanks Lauren for letting me use all your cute stuff and ideas!

Me-eating way too much caramel fondue...so yummy! Thanks Steph!

Here are the recipes for the caramel and cheese ones, those were our favorites:

Hot Caramel Dip

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup light corn syrup

1 cup brown sugar

1 can sweetened condensed milk

Apple slices, pretzels or whatever you want to dip!

Mix together all ingredients in saucepan. Bring to boil. Pour into crockpot. Set on low. Dip away!

Cheesy Fondue

2 c. (8 oz) sharp cheddar cheese

2 (3 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese, softened

1 1/2 c. sour cream

1 c. diced, cooked ham

1/2 c. chopped green onions

1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

2 T. vegetable oil

1 T. butter, melted

Mix together ingredients until smooth. Microwave 1 minute to soften ingredients. (I did mine longer, maybe 5 minutes, in 1 minute intervals). Place ingredients in fondue pot to keep warm. Serve with broccoil, pepper strips, cauliflower, celery, carrot sticks, mushroom caps. We also ate it with zucchini slices and french bread cubes. Yum!
