a little about A LOT: Easter Mimosa Bar

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!

Easter Mimosa Bar | A little about a Lot

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 :)

Now that everyone was settled in with their drink, it was time to fill their bellies!

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!
You will fall in love.

Glazed Meatballs

with a Jelly & Chili glaze {recipe here}

Spinach Dip

My Aunt-in-law makes this for every event and we all LOVE it! One day I'll ask her for the recipe......

Caprese Bites

Mini mozzarella balls, mini heirloom tomatoes (or grape tomatoes) & Basil.
Sprinkle with Salt & pepper then drizzle some olive oil & balsamic vinegar over the top.

and of course the Easter table wouldn't be complete without Deviled Eggs!

Gosh, I'm getting hungry just looking at all this yummy food!

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 ~~completely~~ almost forgot that I wasn't actually drinking Champagne.
