better late than never.

Well after a little delay, I'm back! It seems like every time I sit down to blog a little, something takes over my attention and I get distracted. With that said, I am here now and that's all that matters, right?

I left off with our first supper club. Sadly I was so busy cooking, and setting up that I failed to take as many pictures as I would have liked to. I did, however, snap a couple with the ever-so-faithful iphone which I have to have to admit, gets the job done.

The invites.

The table settings. ( Thought about breaking out our monogrammed fine china and linens for the event but opted for the bit more casual every-day dinnerware)

The hors'dourves. Tomato-Mozzarella Bruschetta
This recipe was given to me from my BFF/Matron of Honor - Keegan Raybon McWhorter whom I love dearly and miss SO much.


Keegan, and her sweetie of a husband Robby, came to visit earlier this year and we had such a great time with them. They even got ME to climb chilhowee mountain for an amazing view from the top.





O, Adam.... :)

I did not get a single picture of Adam's homemade meatballs and spaghetti sauce. I also made a delicious, fresh italian salad that ranked right up there with The Olive Garden salad. (I think, anyway) I had the best of intentions of making either tiramisu or Italian chocolate mousse in chocolate bowls, neither of which I have made before, but they are quite detailed dishes and require a lot of time and that afternoon I did not have it. Instead, I made my favorite:

Hershey Pie!


This recipe is very easy and DELICIOUS. I keep all the ingredients on hand at all times for a last minute dessert. I make it so often that have memorized the recipe so I figured I should share with you all!

Ingredients

  • 1 9 inch single crust pie shell (I use pillsbury ones in the freezer section)
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 stick of melted butter
  • 2 eggs slightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl until mixed well. Pour in unbaked pie shell. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until set.

I like to serve mine warm with a dollop of cool whip or a scoop of ice cream.


I recently found this video on another blog and immediately looked for more after watching it. It's SO funny. Adam and I share this video with everyone we know and a few of us actually attempted it ourselves the other night at the ever-so-popular Wally-world. It didn't work out so smoothly for us but I hope to be back with a successful video of it for my blog later on! For now, enjoy this!

Later Bloggies!
