My husband and I hosted our little celebration this year. (Like a dope I forgot to take pics, but my Dad did so I'll post his when I get them). The menu was delish and everyone enjoyed the simple meal so I thought I would share what I served!
Apps and munchies:
carrots, red, orange and yellow peppers, celery, pita chips
4 types of hummus including garlic, original and red pepper along with a ranch veggie dip
cocktails:
everything was offered but what really sold were my husbands Gin & Tonics with a slice of lime! :-)
Dinner:
Miso soup
followed by......
mashed sweet potatoes, steamed asparagus and baked white fish. (I had tempeh instead of fish) The main course was served with a wonderful white wine.
The sweet potatoes I did very simply, baking them in the oven until the skin started to separate from the innards :-) then i cut them and ditched the skins, mashing the potatoes with (a smidgen of) butter, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.
The white fish I baked in white wine with a bit of honey mustard and parsley. Everyone said it was tasty!
Dessert, I can tell you about but I cannot share the recipe as its my mother famous lumpy chocolate mousse. It was soooooo yummy!!
Thank you to all who came and enjoyed the afternoon! And thank you to my husband who helped me clean up and do all the dishes!!!!!
