I had a little gathering for my co-workers last night. Of course I made some snacks for us to munch because although most people get thirsty on Thursday, I get hungry. I know, I know – that doesn’t have the same ring to it – hungry Thursday. We’ll keep the original since drinks in fact were involved 
I took some pics of the food as I was prepping it and then a quick one of the table (sorry for some missing items and lack of close-ups).
Grapes + smoked gouda and sharp cheddar
Pita chips (for the spinach artichoke dip – unpictured)
Peanut butter filled pretzels
Roasted almonds
Most of the spread (sans the dip)
I sat right next to the almond cherry chocolate clusters and ate my weight in them 
The pea crostini was the cutest looking thing, the spinach artichoke (as always) was the star, and the clusters scared my guests but that just means there are more left more me. 
I had a few glasses of wine and ended the night on the couch with the hubs, watching 3 episodes of the Office in a row. Not a bad night at all. 
See you later with a more insightful post about my progress with IE (spoiler alert: there is no real progress yet). Have a great weekend, everybody!!
yep those crostinis look delish
What a great spread! I love having snacky parties, they are the best!
I love pesto and those crostinis look so freaking good!
LOVE “Hungry Thursday”… although for me it would also be Hungry Monday, Hungry Tuesday, Hungry Wednesday…
The pea pesto crostini is gorgeous, and I still have to make those chocolate almond cherry clusters. You have some lucky co-workers!
Looks like quite the spread!
Wowsers that looks amazing! When I first glanced at the crostini I thought it was guacamole and a tomato which really sounds good now!
What a nice little spread! The pea crostini look especially beautiful, it’s amazing the way the contrasting red of the tomato makes everything just pop.
What a great spread! I bet you throw fun parties!
first of all i love giada! all the snacks look amazing……have a great day!
Wow all those things look SOOO amazing. Those tomatoes are so red and I am basically addicted to peanut butter filled pretzels. Looks like an amazing dinner party!
I thought at first that your pea crostinis were guac. Maybe that’s because I just see guac everywhere I look…
Holy crow everything looks so good I wish I was there!!!
Um, can I please come to your next shin-dig?
Looks delicious as usual, I bet you’re a great host. Your photos are looking extra pretty in this post, too!
Woow…
I need one one those pesto crostinis ASAP!
Hahahaha
Have a great weekend, Elina!
