My daughter has dinner parties every year before all of the big high school shindigs.

This weekend we celebrated homecoming with a fondue party. Fondue is such a fun way to have dinner together since it takes longer to eat than most meals due to cooking your food at the table. It is easy to get your fondue forks mixed up and everyone gets to eat just what they like so it creates plenty of fun conversation! Here’s our homecoming fondue party…

Our table full of goodies… cheese filled pasta. chicken, beef, sourdough bread, herbed chicken broth & olive oil and homemade cheese fondue!

Cheddar Cheese Fondue Recipe

  • 4 cups of grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup of beer
  • 1/2 cup of mustard
  • 1 or 2 fresh garlic cloves mashed
  • salt & pepper to taste

Measurements can vary for your own preference. Heat in electric fondue pot at about 300 degrees until smooth. Play with the temperature as needed to keep the right texture. If the sauce gets grainy, it is probably just needs to be turned up a little more. This sauce is great served with pieces of sourdough bread!

Homemade smooth, shiny chocolate sauce with sprinkles, graham cracker crumbs, and walnuts. Sorry, we do not serve this for breakfast at the B & B… well, maybe if you requested it we could.

This is our daughter standing in front of her great grandmother’s mirror. This is the same mirror that I had my picture taken in front of on my wedding day. She thought it would be neat to have her picture in front of it for homecoming this year.

I am so proud of her and incredibly sentimental. I love this girl!
