Every fall, my grandparents host a Hobo Stew Party at their lovely home up north. If you don’t know what a Hobo Stew Party is, you’re about to be introduced to a simple, fun gathering in which everyone participates in the main event: the stew!This year’s party took place a couple of weeks ago, and the main idea (as always!) was this: each person attending the party brought their own additions to add to the stew, and after the flavors had a chance to meld together and everything had been cooked through, it was time to eat!Chad and I brought tomatoes from our garden, kidney beans, and a light dessert. Yum!Above is the dessert I made: Mini Santa Maria’s (little cream puffs with shortbread bottoms). They turned out a little eggier than I would have liked, but they looked pretty at the very least!                                         I love this picture of my brother and Ariel at the party.

After eating, a walk was definitely in order, and it was a gorgeous fall day. I finally got to cross blowing dandelion seeds off my list 🙂

We had a really nice time at the Hobo Stew Party. What is your favorite dish or addition to bring to a party?
