Set a pretty table
How about setting a pretty table and inviting your close friends over for a sweet dinner party?Last week we came together on a Thursday night for a lovely dinner party at my house, andI recently read a Proverb about friendships that made me smile.
The sweet smell of incense
can make you feel good,
but true friendship
is better still.
This is how I feel when some of my best lady friends are gathered around the table with me.
Buy primroses and placed in little galvanized buckets. White IKEA candles, cute party striped pink napkins, this table said “girlfriend party” all over it.
The Skinnytaste Cookbook
Speaking of girlfriends, I adore Gina who wrote the book, The Skinnytaste Cookbook. I am in love with her healthy recipes, and I wanted to try a couple of new ones for this party. Just look at all the fabulous ingredients!?
Chicken Enchilada Soup
This Enchilada Soup was the bomb! On my menu? A Mexican pizza, giant green salad (cilantro, tomatoes, red onion, carrots, avocado), and this soup – with all the toppings.
Dessert was this Gina’s amazing Bananas Foster al a Mode on Ice Cream.
Ten minutes to bake and then serve hot? Perfect easy dessert.
