there were more of them (friends, that is.) but i'm terrible at taking pictures when i'm busy filling glasses and bellies. this is all i've got.
this is the spread. i can't take credit for all of it, sadly. but most of it kept me up all night saturday and working all day on sunday!
i'm most proud of my desserts! the little cheescake recipe was from redbook, called black-bottom cheesecakes, and they were delicious! the recipe called for creme freche, it was an excellent change in place of regular sour cream. and the other is irish coffee cupcakes. the frosting has whiskey in it. i had my doubts, but it was just enough to give the perfect flavor.
i told todd that if he didn't smile i would post this as 'todd passed out from drinking too much early in the evening." so, it is. (but not really.)
leah and shaune, the cutest little besties.
april doing what she does best. haha! really, she loves food. i don't know where it all goes.
Looks so yummy Megan! Care to share any recipes?? Like the toothpick thingys? Or the green things next to them???
ReplyDeleteoh meg, i want to eat your cooking! and be in your ambiance! and watch the oscars with you. we decided no tv for lent, and then we remembered American Idol and decided Jesus would want us to see it. . . so thur and fri nights are our exceptions. (except lately we've still missed it) But that means no Oscars and no after oscars clothing critique shows (i always learn so much from those).
ReplyDeletewhat is creme freche?
ReplyDeletecreme freche= french sour cream. same consistency, similar flavor. not as tart i guess?
ReplyDeleteand eek= green things are stuffed mushrooms. 2 pounds mushroom caps, 10 oz frozen chopped spinach (super drained!!) 1/2 c. chopped green onions, 2 oz cream cheese, 4 oz. feta, salt to taste, mix and stuff. top w/ grated parm cheese and bake at 350 for 30 min.
toothpick things are chicken and bacon. cube chicken in 1 inch cubes. cut bacon into 3 sections. wrap the bacon around chicken cube, stick it with a toothpick and drudge through mixture of 1 cup brown sugar w/ 1 teaspoon chili powder. (sweet and a little kick) bake at 375 until golden and crispy.flip half way through if you have time!
