March 15: "Kiss Me, I'm Irish!"

The theme night for March 15 is "Kiss Me, I'm Irish!" No, we won't be kissin', but you will get pinched if you don't come wearing some green! ;) And no, a bowl of Lucky Charms doesn't count for this evening! I haven't dived into Irish cooking much myself yet and look forward to this new challenge. To help you all out, here are some links to some Irish recipes...

March 1: Stuff it!

STUFF IT! I'm not being rude. :) March 1st is the day to "stuff it"... peppers, chicken, mushrooms, potatoes, cabbage rolls, artichokes, bread, squash, tomatoes... anything you can think to STUFF with something tasty! There are so many great recipes out there for this sort of thing. You can invent a recipe of your own, find something online, prepare a family favorite, whatever you like... as long as it is something stuffed. :)

Who wants to do a dessert?! :D

February 15: Five Ingredients or Less!

Sorry this blog post is late! Thank you for attending our Five Ingredient theme night! It was so wonderful to see some new faces. :) Please take a moment to post your recipe here so attendees can come looking for their favorites of the evening.

I made Buffalo Chicken Dip. Just take 2 large cans of chicken, shred the meat. Soften 1 block of cream cheese. Mix cheese and meat with buffalo sauce (to taste). Bake at 450 degrees until bubbly. I served it with wheat thins tonight but chips work great too!

What did you make? What was your favorite of the night? I think mine was Kim's corn!!

Sliiiiiiiders.

On Tuesday, February 1, we're going to enjoy teeny tiny sliders. Don't know what a slider is? Think Krystal (only not as disgusting).

You can make your signature sandwich, discover a new recipe or share a family favorite. The only catch is it has to be served on a roll or mini hamburger bun! For slider ideas, check out the links below, but keep in mind, you can turn literally any burger or sandwich recipe into a slider! Have fun!
