We all have those 'comfort foods', whether it's cold outside, we're feeling under the weather or it's just plain been a bad day.. these foods make us feel better. Sometimes it's a favorite childhood dish that mom made... sometimes it came from a box. Grapes hosting this month and we had a special guest... Olive. (and no one prepared from a box!!)
Dinner was served at a Thanksgiving ready table complete with Pilgrim hat/autumn leaf placesettings.
Our selections of wine included:
Zen of Zin Mementos
Gnarly Head
For our first course, Paprika brought her mom's "should-be-famous' dill dip with veggies and pretzels!
Grapes served individual Chicken Pot Pies... no worries.. she made Vegetarian pot pies for the veggie lovers!
Saucy made a delicious Mac & Cheese with a secret 'saucy' ingredient... butternut squash. YUM!
and for dessert, Couscous brought her childhood favorite cake.. a spice cake with a maple syrup icing.. Man, i NEED that recipe. It was simply delightful for dessert... and breakfast the next morning!! :)
Stayed tuned for our December dinner club info!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!!!
