I have a host who is interested in doing a girls night sleepover with her adult friends... the kids will be away at church camp! Anyone have any ideas? Not sure what to make for "dinner". She's invited me to stay with them... thought we could do pancakes in the bar pan for breakfast!
Any ideas?
 
Since pizza and sundaes are a staple of sleepovers, how about that? But do "adult" versions with fancy/gourmet toppings. Like Aloha or shrimp pizza and sundaes with coffee ice cream and dark chocolate topping.

Ohh! Yeah! Totally didn't even think pizza! HELLO!:o Maybe I eat too much of it with my two year old:rolleyes:
The host LOVES the trifle bowl... maybe a simple salad in that to go with the pizzas... then we could use the sald spinner too...
Thanks Ann...
 
And of course- milkshakes with fancy liqueur in them. :)
 
Tortatinis would be fun and interactive. There is a flyer on her somewhere about a spa theme or pampering yourself...not sure...anyhoo, facials go well with a sleepover.
 
best fuzzy slipper contest
 
Oh, you simply must have chocolate. This Fudgey Brownie Trifle is just amazing... and EVERYONE LOVES IT!

Try a wife-saver for breakfast.
I've attached some really good recipes that should fit the bill. I made the fruit salad and gingerbread pancakes just this weekend to rave reviews!
:D

Where did you find this HoHo trifle? Sounds DIVINE!!! Unfortunately If I made it I would probably eat it all myself. LOL

This sounds great! I'm hosting a party for a friend of mine who is a consultant for another company. The party is going to have a Strawberries and Chocolate theme so this will be perfect! She can have her theme and I can still show off my Pampered Chef products!
 
OK, I must have missed something! How do you make pancakes in the bar pan?!?!?!

Thanks!
 
Pour the batter in like a cake and bake it. Super simple and a major time saver when you're making pancakes for the family. Cut it into squares and serve as usual. We like them with honey!
