Aug 30th - Hubby's birthday!
Invited
K’s family including girl’s bfriends over for dinner. Big question. What to serve? Want to use the fruits of
summer! Tomatos are at their very best
right now!
Appetizers:
Baked Brie marinated with fresh
peppers & herbs. Loved by all! Thank God I made
two as it was devoured in a flash!
Mini Cornmeal cakes with heirloom
tomato relish.
Verdict;
too much work/effort! Relish would be
better served on toasted crusty bread.
Dinner/Main
Steak
& chicken marinated in garlic teriyaki sauce
Green
Beans with bacon & mushrooms
Marscarpone
Mashed Potatoes
Balsamic
Bell Peppers (inspired from Cooking light recipe)
BLT
Panzanella Salad_Luscious_served dressing on the side; for those who wanted; I
felt tomatoes did not need anything more than oil & balsamic vinegar
Dessert: Expresso
ice cream loaf! And pastries from the local bakery.
What
a wonderful night! And the weather cooperated too! Did not want the evening to end! Special thanks to our dear friend Donna, who not only helped me with food prep in the kitchen but ran out to the store when I realized I was missing an ingredient or two!
Will
post recipes soon :)
