Monthly Dessert Swap/Exchange: BYOFI!

Last month, friends and I gathered for a dessert swap/exchange where we all bring something sweet to share and everyone takes home a little bit of all the offerings to enjoy. For May. I offered to host and because I love themes, our dessert swap/exchange was a BYOFI... bring your own fondue item!

(Thanks to Cathy & Eli for taking the following pics!)

Everyone that attended brought something to dip into the various sweet fondue sauces I prepared. But of course, before we started dipping, we enjoyed a few savory bites to whet our appetites. Being that it was just a day before Cinco de Mayo, I had a few Mexican inspired bites on the menu (feel free to click on the links for recipes!)

Beef & Chorizo Sopes

Mojo Chicken quesadillas
Classic Guacamole

Tortilla Chips
