Dear Jamie:
I am making a Sunday wedding shower and I wondered if I could have some suggestions for what to serve.

Dear Rayna:
At a party like a wedding shower, there is a lot of mingling going on and it’s often hard to find a place to sit down to slice up dinner meats. So the best foods, in this case, are foods that are easy to eat. I’ll give you some suggestion for some fab finger foods that will really stand out.
I also suggest you make the menu dairy: I’m envisioning a Sunday brunch or lunch.
The additional beauty of finger foods is that they are cute, sweet-looking, and pleasing to the eye. You and your guests won’t feel like they are eating too much. Bite-size always is a winner with a weight-conscious crowd.
Try these interesting and delectable dairy dishes:

You can have a lot of fun creating pretty drinks. My Sparkling Lemon Cocktail is delicious and refreshing — and the bubbles will certainly tickle your taste buds. You could also whip up some Cherry Smash for some contrasting color; or how about some Pomegranate Champagne Punch? It is a celebration, after all!
What’s your favorite finger food recipe? Please let us know. Rayna and I would appreciate it.

Dear Jamie,
I’m so inspired with your life and happy of your aliyah!!
You have wonderful big family and I’m so interested in your advice. What type of food you prepare when you travel by car with family? Here, in Russia we can drive all day long and we so need to make smth easy and suitable for kids and adults and kosher. We so need your expert mom advice. Thank you!
Gloria – all sound delish – but fried olives sound to die for – I love olives, olive oil and I bet I love fried olives too. Can you share your recipe with us?
Four of my most popular items to serve at a shower or any event where pickup foods make the most sense are: 1. Endive leaves stuffed with Halibut Salad 2. Fried Olives 3. Cheese straws (I use Parmesan cheese but they can also be made with poppy seeds or caraway seeds if dairy doesn’t work)4. Mushrooms Ears
