Home Theme Party
Home theme party celebrates the fact that every creature
great and small needs a home to live in. Here are some fun recipes for
different homes and houses.
Home Theme Party Menu Ideas
Gingerbread houses aren't just for holidays. Make a traditional gingerbread house or try a miniature gingerbread house from graham crackers. See both recipes here. Use this for a centerpiece for the party.
Create an igloo for your home theme party.
Igloos three ways
Make your favorite cheese ball recipe. Instead of rolling in nuts
leave outside white. Score squares with a toothpick around the outside
to resemble ice blocks.
Create an igloo with cheese cubes. Use a small paper cup if needed to prop up cubes.
Apple igloo. Cut an apple in half and core out seeds and middle.
Lay flat and spread cream cheese or peanut butter around outside. Lay
miniature marshmallows all around outside of apple.
Turtle Bread
Some animals have to carry their homes with them wherever they go.
2 ½- 3 cups flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon yeast
½ cup water
1/3 cup milk
1 Tablespoon butter
2 eggs, one for brushing the top
Raisins for eyes
In mixing bowl blend flour, sugar and salt. Set aside. In Microwave
safe bowl add water, milk and butter together. Heat until warm about
130 degrees with a candy thermometer. Stir in yeast and allow to foam.
Stir yeast mixture into flour mixture. Add egg. Blend together. Place
on a floured surface and knead 5 minutes until dough is smooth. Cover
and let rest while you grease a cookie sheet and preheat oven to 400.
To create a turtle with your dough, make a small ball for his head, 4
balls for legs and a ball for a tail. Shape the remaining dough into a
body and place on the cookie sheet. Attach the legs, head and tail to
turtle body. Add raisins for eyes. In a glass beat egg with a fork.
With a pastry brush, brush egg over turtle body. Let rise 30 minutes
and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
