Slept in a bed looking somewhat like this

Walked in groves of roses

A girl can dream can't she?

P.S. you are of course welcome to come in your jammies if you want to.

Cookie Exchange

We are going to Heidi Tuttle's house this Saturday the 10th of December for this cookie exchange and we could not be more excited! Bring one dozen cookies to swap and share and this year we are going to be better at putting the recipes on the blog afterwards. This is one of the main reasons we do cooking club, to expand our recipe box. The second reason is to try new recipes and improve our cooking skills, girls, so go CRAZY and don't bring the "usual". I believe we decided the last time we would meet at April's house at 6:30 if you would like to carpool up to Heidi's house. She will be expecting us at 7. See you there!

Recipe Hack

 This will be my first time hosting the Cooking Club at my house and I am so excited. I know you all have your favorite restaurant recipe that you are dying to share or dying to try. Or, if you don't have one, think of your favorite dish and look it up online, I am betting a copycat recipe is somewhere on the interweb.

We decided to switch things up this time and go for a Saturday night instead so October 8th, 7:00pm. That is three weeks away!

I will be making Carraba's famous Chicken Bryan. If you haven't tried it, it is to die for. I might make something else too but let's see what other ideas we get first.


If you need my address, please contact me or you can get it from April or Sarah or Jennie.

Favorites

So I know ya'll are probably sick of me hosting...but here it is anyway!

We are meeting our regular time of 7pm, second Friday which is September 9th.

My thoughts behind this themes is your favorite...whatever. Favorite food, favorite dessert, favorite take-out, favorite candy, favorite appetizer, favorite drink, etc. You get the point. I thought it might be fun to share some of our favorite things with each other and get to know each other better.

I would really like to make the chocolate cream pie that Charlotte taught me how to make. I can also come up with a main dish if no one has anything that is their favorite. I also don't think it would be bad if we just ate whatever people bring...

April- Chocolate Cream Pie

Lemon and Lime

I thought this might be a fun theme!!
My house, Friday July 8th at 7pm.
I know that so many of you can't be there, be we are still getting together.

April- Lemony Herbed Chicken

Veg

Ok here's the deal. We are scheduled or chose next week for the next one. I took it off April's hands because hosting is much better for her next month. Then I forgot I had told her I would take it. And for once in my life I feel like I have had a lot of girls' nights lately. So I ask you, is it too early? I'm not saying I can get enough, I am totally willing to have it this next week. But it seems we just had it. Do we stick with next Friday and not get off schedule? If so than I guess I better choose something.

I have a meat husband. No, not like a hunk, but he could eat meat, almost strictly with maybe some rolls, for every meal. It was an interesting lesson for us in India, a country that is predominantly vegetarian. Everything was veg or non veg, as they called it, and labeled as such (read more on my blog post here, and for source and explanation of the above picture). I didn't learn as much as I would have liked on how to eat deliciously on such a diet. So I come to you. Bring me your favorite dishes that don't include meat. I guess I am looking more for main dishes, because really, obviously I could eat salads etc.(which I love and can't wait until the lettuce comes in the garden as we eat a lot of it in the summer), but I have a hard time coming up with meals when I feel like we are meated out and need some ideas.

I also propose as this is a cooking club, that if you love what you are bringing and want to share it more than this one time with us, please bring a copy of your recipe!

My house, Friday, 7 pm.

Jennie: rolls and dessert.
April: Black Bean Salad
