Happy New Year!


 
I hope everyone had a Happy New Year. We had a great time this weekend with Liam and Jaclyn in town. Liam was on his way to Wyoming for the next 4 years for school, and stayed with us for about 5 days. It was a food-fest! We all love good food and love to cook!
The first night we made Fajitas with all the fixings. We had Soy-rizo and egg breakfast burritos, and an Appetizer feast on New Year's Eve.  I am proud of our Phyllo dough efforts.. That stuff is hard to work with!! We wrapped asparagus in a spinach leave and  then rolled them in phyllo, with lemon zest and parmasean.
Yesterday I made an attempt at Spinach Pie with the left-over dough.. Tastes good. Doesn't look right though!!

What I am most proud of is the Brushetta which was spread with a blend of pine nuts, goat cheese and olive oil. You also can't go wrong with a pile of beans and cheese and a huge bowl of gauc!!

Everything was great. Jaclyn was so much fun to cook with. I never felt like there were "too many cooks in the kitchen." It was great to have friends in town. Makes everything better!


Good Luck Liam! You will be a great nurse!!! We will miss you.
