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.

The Sweet Couple

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!

Catered Affair for Sarah

I have many favorite clients, but by far my best and most favorite client is Sarah & her husband Dave. I have had the pleasure of catering for their family, as well as his company, over the last 5 or more years. There have been children's and both parents birthdays, graduations, holidays and just fun neighborhood dinners. So many things we feel like family! This night we celebrated Sarah's birthday. There was Chicken Satay with Spicy Peanut Sauce - everyone loved this.
The much loved spicy BBQ Meatballs- her son's favorite. (I hid a few away for him since he wasn't home in time to make the party)

Her husband Dave's Favorite- SHRIMP!!
We cooked Chateaubriand and also, fresh Haddock that Dave & their son caught while in Alaska and it was served with my
Peach & Mango-Jalapeno Chutney.

They love to entertain with all the guest seated around several tables facing each other, so as not to have anyone be left out. Then they pass the food "family" style. It's such a pleasure to cater for them and see the friendship and camaraderie they share with their neighbors.

That's Sarah in the blue & white top thanking her guests for coming and letting them know how much they are loved.

Great fun, great people!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!!!!

CHOCOLATE FLUFF TARTLETS

This is the easiest dessert I've ever made and you are gonna love it!

2 packages of Phyllo tart cups

1 cup heavy whipping cream, well chilled
1/2 cup Hershey's or other chocolate syrup, well chilled
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk, chilled
Powdered sugar
In a very well chilled bowl, whip all liquid ingredients on high for 7-10 minutes or until thick & fluffy. Pipe into each tart cup. Then sprinkle with powdered sugar.

That's it! Honestly, that's all there is to it.
