My dear fun loving friend Jenn came to visit last weekend and boy did we have a BLAST!We cooked until our hearts content, laughed, made silly voices, played with Addy, rested, went to the movies, shopped, and all in all had a great time.
I love getting together with Jenn because she lifts my spirit. She is so joyful and high-energy. Something I am not. Type A I would call her, and I love her for it.
She's my cooking buddy. We're always e-mailing, messaging, texting, or calling each other about recipes to try, ideas to explore, and creative things to do with our kiddos. So before she even came the two hour drive from the Allentown, PA area, we made our menu.
Saturday night: Fondue party!!
Swiss and Gruyere Cheese Fondue
Served with: steamed veggies, crusty bread, apples
Chocolate Peanut Butter Fondue (TO DIE FOR!!)
Served with: marshmallows, pretzels, strawberries, bananas, apples,
graham crackers, and BROWNIES (double the chocolate)
Sunday lunch:
Homemade pizza half with mushrooms (for Jenn's sake, I highly dislike ;)
and half with spinach and Roma tomatoes~! Yummy!
Sunday afternoon we made homemade buttery herb croutons
Monday lunch:
Falafel two ways (baked and friend)
served on mini pitas with cucumber sauce
We parted ways on Monday afternoon, our bellies and hearts full.
Thanks for the fun weekend Jenn!
How fun!! Maybe you could post the fondue recipes? We did fondue at our girls retreat this weekend (just simple chocolate and cheese) and most of the teenage girls had never had fondue and LOVED it! So I'm thinking of doing a fondue party sometime soon!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a wonderful and tasty weekend with your friend! :)
Hi ya Jen!
