Party

My high school girlfriends and I try to get together every couple of weeks for some quality girl time.  I wanted to host them at my place and couldn’t have been happier when I found out our Girls Night was going to be the one day blessed with 80 degree whether this week.  So I put together a light greek inspired menu, set the table outside and chilled the wine… here was the menu:

Tzatziki with Pita

Chicken Souvlaki 

Greek Salad

Zucchini Fritters

Cooking Schedule

Night before:

• Marinate chicken 
• Make Tzatziki
• Make dressing for Greek Salad

Day of:

• Grill chicken
• Assemble Greek Salad
• Make Zucchini Fritters

Luckily for my family we get to celebrate two birthdays on December 25th – Jesus’s and my mom’s! And what better way to kick things off than with a Martha inspired brunch!?  Check out my menu below:

Bloody Mary Bar

White Cheddar and Apricot Puffs

Chocolate Filled Croissants

Winter Fruit Salad with Basil Syrup

Potato, Scallion and Goat Cheese Frittata

Cider Braised Slab Bacon and Smoked Country Apple Sausage

And voila! Happy Holidays!

PS. I doubt it was my breakfast… but I must have been on the nice list because my husband got me a gorgeous new big girl camera… translation – I will be able to post legit food pictures now… goodbye iPhone photos!
