I can't believe that it's almost April. Has this year flown by or what?!? In exactly 26 days my little girl turns 2! OMG, I can't even think about how big she's getting. Before I dive into full blown party planning, I've get to get another little event all set up... Easter!
Do you have Easter Brunch, Lunch or Dinner?
In my family we always have an Easter dinner, however since everyone gets to my house around lunch time, I had to have something for them to snack on.... and drink :)
Welcome to the Easter Mimosa Bar!
I'm not gonna lie, I love mimosa's. They are such a treat, since I usually only have them when we're out to breakfast {which isn't very often} or on a holiday. So when I came across this "mimosa bar how to" {by Kojo-designs} I knew I had to have a mimosa bar of my own!
I made Orange Juice, Strawberry Lemonade & Rhubarb Strawberry Juice. The mixers were so delicious, you could have drank them without any Champagne! I handmade all the mixers {recipes here} however, to save a lot of time, you can just pick any pre-made juice mixes from the store.
I don't know about you, but I love putting fruit in my Mimosa's. So the night before I froze some Raspberries, Blueberries and cut up Strawberries, and served them in these cute little jars. They were the perfect addition :)
I didn't want anything too filling {since I was slaving away in the kitchen cooking a fabulous Easter dinner}, but I wanted it really tasty. Some of it was homemade, some store bought, all delicious!
Mini Feta Puffs
{Carmelized Onion Feta Puffs} from Trader Joes. If you haven't had them, get in your car, drive to the store and buy some now!

I love how versatile this Mimosa bar is, you can have this bar at any holiday, birthday party, bridal shower or even a baby shower. Remember how I said that my little girl's birthday was right before Easter? Well at the time, I was 38 weeks pregnant while hosting this Champagne Bar... can you say torture!?!?!?!
Luckily, a pretty Champagne glass filled with Sparkling Cider and Strawberry Lemonade {my personal favorite} and I
