It’s Oscar night! Roll out the red carpet, get your hair done and put on some heels, because we are going to the Academy Awards. Well, not really, but that would be totally awesome! I love the Oscars and not just because I was a film major in college. Watching movies is one of my favorite pastimes. We had movie nights often when I was growing up and I remember curling up on the couch with a blanket and some kind of snack while we watched a movie as a family.
I still curl up on the couch, under a blanket, with some sweet or savory snack and watch movies with Mr. L&C. We love movie dates and always watch the Academy Awards together. Every year we print out a ballot and make a game of trying to guess the winners – Mr. L&C and I are very competitive.
Movies are synonymous with popcorn, soda and boxes of candy. I decided to make our Oscar viewing party a little more upscale this year. Raspberry Brie Bites are one of my all-time favorite appetizers and they are so easy to make. You can even drizzle them with a balsamic reduction for a more savory option, or some chocolate sauce to make them sweeter. The possibilities are endless. Grab yourself some champagne, Raspberry Brie Bites and enjoy!
