On NYE, instead of going out we decided to host a small gathering with Jennie, Mike, Mike's parents, and my parents. We had a terrific time, especially because I won at Uno TWO times.
Here's what our tables looked like:
Don't laugh at the uneven heights of the tables, instead direct your attention to the beautiful dishes.
Our Menu:
Baked Brie adapted from Foodie Bride
I decided to omit the onions, and I used plum jelly in one of the baked bries, and plain jane for the other. I used plum jelly because that's what I had on hand. It was delish!
Starter:
Roasted Tomato Basil Soup from Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade Cooking
This soup was so easy to make, and I'm going to say that it isn't that bad for you either. It only had 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream, which isn't too bad split amongst 8 people.
Main Course:
Prime Rib cooked on the Green Egg
Baked Potatoes
Green Beans
Beverages:
Iced Tea
Homebrew (Spice Beer, IPA, and Stout)
Champagne
Mimosas
Congratulations and welcome to the blogging world!
ReplyDeleteYour NYE looks like it was a fabulous time. I'm jealous (and angling for an invite in the future). Hope we all kick off 2011 in fine form. So glad 2010 introduced me to you!
