Preparing the tables for Fresh Fruit & Gourmet Cheeses

We served Marinated Grilled Chicken Breast, Southern Green Beans, Specialty Mashed Potatoes, and a Carving station of Beef Tenderloin by Chef Ken. It melted in your mouth! Everyone was raving!

I love this centerpiece. Can you believe I got the wicker vase at TJ Maxx for 16.00 bucks!!

Awaiting the Carver and the Tenderloin!

Here we served a Caesar Salad and Italian Pasta Salad with an assortment of dinner rolls.

DELIGHTFUL STRAWBERRY- CREAM TOPPED CUPCAKES

Now I know what you are all thinking. Strawberry frosted cupcakes,

what's so great about that? Well let me just tell you!!!!. This is by far the best frosted cupcake I've ever eaten!
I found this recipe in the latest ((March/April) Southern Lady magazine
under the food section titled Neopolitan Dream.
And let me tell you, it is, oh it is!
It is suppose to be made using a half chocolate and
half vanilla cupcake, hence the name Neopolitan, I just used chocolate. I digress! Back to the frosting! This stuff tastes like you're eating a

strawberry milkshake. It is so darn good! You have got to try it! Along with an amazing magazine from cover to cover,
there are also so many other fabulous Neopolitan recipes
included- just go buy the magazine- you'll be so happy you did! There are two things in the recipe I changed. It called for strawberry jam- I used fresh mashed berries. And it called for Cool-Whip topping- I used fresh whipped cream instead.
So now- rush out and GET THE MAGAZINE!

Preparing for Brides, Looking Forward To Spring

As brides rush in to get "their" wedding dates book and menus aligned,

my mind wanders to the outdoors.

Torn between wanting to dig my fingers into the soft cool dirt and get my garden started, or sit here and get weddings priced out, blogs FINALLY updated, facebook updated, emails answered and events prepared for! If only there were more hours in the day or two of me!I'm am so blessed to be so busy again this year and very blessed to have a lot of our events out doors. So I'll tug along with "work" and look forward to each break I get to work in the yard and clean out my garden when I can squeeze a minute or two out.

Teresa Carter's Paella

Many of my friends have asked about Paella, so I thought I would post one of my recipes. Please try it once. I think you'll find you love it.

Serves 8-10 people

3 tablespoons of good Olive Oil

2 tablespoons of salted butter

2 chicken legs, 2 thighs, 2 wings

1 large onion, diced

1 red and 1 green bell pepper sliced in strips

4-5 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

1 pound of Chorizo sausage, removed from casing

3- 14oz. Cans chicken broth

1 cup of white wine

1 family sized bag of Vigo's Saffron Spanish Style rice

2 pound medium shrimp, peeled

1 pound little neck clams, scrubbed & beards removed

1 pound mussels, scrubbed

1 bag of frozen peas (optional)

Using a paella pan or a large, deep skillet warm oil and butter over medium high heat until hot then add chicken pieces. Cook 5-6 minutes per side, remove from pan and set aside. Add onion, peppers, garlic and chorizo sausage breaking apart with wooden spoon. Cook until peppers & onions are nice and browned and chorizo is cooked . Add chicken broth and wine to pan bring to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat and cover pan. Cook about 10 minutes. Remove lid and add chicken back to pan along with shrimp, clams, mussels and peas if using. Cook, stirring occassionally until clams and mussels open and all liquid is absorbed. (If your clams or mussels do not open, throw out.) I find that clams take longer than mussels to open, so be patient.

Serve hot with a hearty crusty garlic bread and fresh green salad.

FECKOURY REHEARSAL DINNER

This rehearsal dinner was for my best friend's son. Teresa is from Honduras. So she wanted a meal that represented her heritage. I made three different Paella's.

This is with Chicken & Chorizo sausage.This is with shrimp, clams, mussels, squid & chorizo.

The third one was a combo of both. They were FABULOUS even if I do say so myself.

My team busy at work. Gotta love my team!!!!!!

My best friend Teresa in the center dressed in red with her mother, sisters, niece, husband & her three sons. Her oldest son, Johnny the groom, is holding the red napkins. The other two are Daniel & Andrew. Love You Guys!!!!
