A Tapas Style Dinner

I don't think I've ever met another female who hates the idea of appetizers for dinner. When Mom was here recently, we used that as the perfect opportunity to indulge in a little tapas-style dinner. It was so easy to put together, and quite fun, too.

We ate right off of the large wooden cutting board, so clean-up was a snap.

From the radishes I grew, we made these little toasts. We had pumpernickel slices which were topped with herbed Boursin cheese and paper-thin slices of the radishes (sliced using a mandolin like this one or this handheld one for $15).

We also enjoyed cucumber cups with spinach-artichoke dip, prosciutto, two kinds of cheeses, sliced plums, and blackberries. 

The cheese we got is from Aldi, I love their cheese selection and the prices are on point!

Olives and stuffed mushrooms rounded out the menu. Stuffed mushrooms are a favorite of mine -- we combined some of the spinach-artichoke dip with breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, seasonings, and the chopped up mushroom stems and then just baked until bubbly.

We couldn't finish our tapas dinner, but good gracious it was delicious!
