Club-Night With the Ladies

Well, it's not what it sounds like. Under the inspiration of my neighbor, Jill, we "ladies" started a cooking club. Our first monthly gathering was last night, hosted by me. The concepts are.... (1) no husbands allowed, (2) kids are allowed, (3) hostess makes an entree dish to serve the ladies, (4) everyone else brings one thing... a bottle of wine, an appetizer, a salad, a dessert, or kid-friendly food. And the last, most important concept is that you have to share the recipe!

Last night was an amazing time of great food, getting to know each other (0ld and new friends), laughs, promises to each other to get together, to exercise together, etc.. The menu was titled Summer Harvest and featured the following treats:

The kids enjoyed bear-shaped sandwiches, fruit, and chocolate banana pops, courtesy of Leslie.

And now I have some new recipes to add to my somewhat unorganized collection. And these new recipes made their debut into my new recipe folders, pictured below.


Thank you, Jill, Brandy, Leslie, Jodie, and Danielle, for joining the new, hottest, club in Yucaipa! Bon appetite!
