I LOVE that Ben is a teacher and gets invited to graduation parties every year! It means I usually get a break from planning and preparing meals for a day or two. Food is almost the best thing about grad parties, so let me give you a review of the food selection today.
Party #1 The Athletic Director's daughter
Pasta Bar with fruit and green salad and breadsticks
A candy bar and lemon and strawberry cupcakes
I was not expecting pasta at a graduation party! It was pretty awesome because it was really cool and a little blustery. They had fettuccine and a choice of marinara or alfredo.
I had a lemon cupcake and it was SO good. Russell really liked the candy and pretty much only ate the candy.
Party #2 The A+ student
Sloppy Joes and various salads
The best part was that they had a slightly different version of frog-eye salad and pasta salad. Other than that it was pretty ho-hum normal. But they had after dinner mints, which I love. And, apparently so does Meghan because she quit squawking after I gave her one. Oh, and Doritos and Cheetos. Yum!
Party #3 Boy from Church
Taco Salad Bar
A candy bar with chocolate and vanilla cupcakes
A popcorn machine
I was really hoping for Mexican specifically walking tacos because since moving here they are what I expect to have a graduation parties. They are amazingly delicious! But, this Mexican food was good, too. I should have had more, but I didn't want to look like a pig :( The candy selection was a little bigger than at the first party, including more chocolate candy. Once again, Russell only wanted the candy, but he likes Mexican foods so I managed to get him to eat some bites. He was also pretty excited because he had friends at this party.
The last two parties both had this oreo cookie salad stuff. It's pretty good, but is probably more of a dessert. I'll have to find the recipe somewhere.
So we got lots of food today, and I only made breakfast. We have one more party in a couple weeks, so I'm hoping I get to have a walking taco. If not, we might need to make them for dinner ourselves one night.

Wow, everyone serves a meal at their graduation parties? Do you give presents to all the graduates?
We upped it from $1 and a photoshopped picture of the student Ben made to $10 this year. They were all really good students that Ben actually liked. And we always give more to the church kids.
Jacob didn't even know people had grad parties, but he was amazed people do all this stuff. I could enjoy some good grad party food right now.
I've never heard of a walking taco before! So I googled it and found out what it is. Sounds easy and yummy! Glad you guys are having fun and foods at all these parties.
Lol. The oreo salad stuff is "probably more of a dessert."
So, if food is almost the best part of grad parties, what is the actual best part?
