BLT Bites

Let me tell you a little story about my best friend. Like most best friends, we have been there for each other through thick and thin. Good and bad. Feast and famine. But along the way we've been praying together about the possibility of a little baby gracing the presence of her and her husband.
Well, I firmly believe that God answers prayers when he's ready. And boy was He ready! My best friend (who was my Matron of Honor) found out she was pregnant shortly after my wedding! And it wasn't much later after I heard that news when she found out that she was having TWINS!
Fast forward and here you are at this blog post. The baby shower!
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled (I used Bacon Bits... I just eyeballed it)
  • 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
  • 3 oz. light cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (I used dried)
  • lettuce, for serving (ommitted)
  • 24 cherry tomatoes

Directions:

  • Mix together mayo and cream cheese until blended
  • Stir in Bacon Bits, green onions and parsley
  • Cut a small slice off the bottoms of the tomatoes
  • Scoop out the inside of the tomatoes
  • Fill each tomato with the bacon/mayo mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour

Okay so maybe they're just BT Bites and not BLT but they were still delicious! (they're on the second tier... I didn't take many photos of food that day). To see the pinwheels on the top tier, go here.
