a new favorite snack…
Last week I hosted bookclub.
Every year I remind myself to keep it simple and just buy some cheese and call it a day.
Well, then I start scheming in my mind and start scouring my cookbooks and Epicurious and I changed my plan! It’s not like I entertain routinely…I’m not sewing…I NEED TO DO SOMETHING CREATIVELY…and on goes my justification.
SO what did I serve?
Corn fritters with chili lime mayo.
Carmelized onion dip with blue cheese (served it with vegetables…broccoli from our garden!)
Edamame and Arugula Crositini (photo above)
Cheese Straws (from Smitten Kitchen)
Ice Box Cupcakes (from Smitten Kitchen)
I have to say, it was all so delicious and totally enjoyable to prepare all these treats. Now next year, just chips and salsa…’cause everyone likes that, right? Maybe I’ll add a trilogy of homemade salsas, make my own chips…uh oh…
