My good friend Les is OBSESSED with Barefoot Contessa! She stood in line for hours to get her latest cookbook signed! She has been cooking lots of yummy meals for her family since she discovered the wonder of Ina. She decided it was time to have a party to celebrate the yumminess that is Barefoot. So, we all signed up for a part of the meal, gave Les our ingredients, and she did ALL the grocery shopping. We all got together at my house to cook, cook, cook! The dads brought the babies over right before bedtime and while they all slept we FEASTED! It was such a fun day cooking together and gabbing in the kitchen. I think our men were mighty satisfied! Here was the breakdown of the meal:
Jordyn (appetizers)- shrimp with homemade cocktail sauce
-blue cheese/yogurt dip with veggies and crackers
Kim (main dish)- dijon/balsamic roast of beef
Steph (sides)- asparagus risotto
-zucchini au gratin
Karly (side)- tripled parmesan mashed potatoes
Les (dessert)- brownie tart and lemon bars
We had so much fun and the guys enjoyed it so much, that we are going to choose Giada next go around! Yummy Italian food here we come! I am pretty sure that good friends and good food is the perfect combination:)
We love Ina!!!!!!!
