Who doesn’t love warm chocolate chip cookies with an icy glass of milk, hardy macaroni and cheese, sweet peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and yummy grilled cheese with tomato soup? Did I get your taste buds going yet? These maybe some of your favourites but you don’t necessarily see them on your “menu du jour” for the big day. Don’t count them out just yet…
Serving comfort foods doesn’t necessarily mean de-formalizing your wedding – all of your homemade favourites can be presented in an elegant, chic way. They don’t have to be the main course – you can offer them either as appetizers or during the midnight buffet. Spoil guests with a top-notch gourmet five-course dinner and then, after everyone’s had time to digest and work up their appetites dancing, present an incredible spread of everyone’s fave comfort foods – tasty sliders, cookies and milk, French fries, lemonade, ice cream sandwiches, cotton candy, and more. Presented in individual serving sizes, these “ordinary” foods become extraordinary.
If you and your husband-to-be are more of a “burger and fry” type of couple, then don’t restrict yourself to rack of lamb and asparagus spears. Sprinkle in a few of your favourite foods, whether it’s pasta, loaded baked potatoes, or PB&J sandwiches with the crusts cut off.
