We’ve moved around quite a bit (ok, 10 times in 10 years of marriage!) and we recently started a new tradition we do shortly after moving in; it’s a fun way to make instant friends: dessert night!
We usually invite 5-10 families/couples from church and sometimes it’s just people we’ve only seen at church and have never met or have briefly talked to. It’s a great way to enjoy each other’s company, meet new people, and have delicious desserts. Ours are super casual on a Sunday night after dinner time. We usually make 4-5 desserts.
This last dessert night we hosted we made raspberry lemonade tarts, symphony brownies, lemon white chocolate chip cookies, and peach cobbler (with Blue Bell Vanilla Bean ice cream).

That is a great way to meet new people, I agree! We have done something similar but on a smaller scale, usually to share a birthday cake since both of our birthdays are always around the time we move and don’t know anyone:)) We should try this though! There are lots of people we should have over.

Thank you! My secret is finding desserts that look impressive but are quite simple 😉 XO
