Special Delicious Recipes are for Special People

 

 

 

Last Saturday I hosted a barbecue for friends and family. It was such a wonderful day that included my friend Jo from mylastbite.com and my new friend Phil from mylifeasafoodie.com

 

I started cooking the week before, freezing some of the appetizers so I’d have plenty of time to cook other dishes. Altogether I had 14 different recipes to share with everyone.

 

The tradition I follow, when I have a dinner party, is very simple. There should be lots of food, lots of love and lots of fun… then, even after I’ve cooked for days, I’m completely satisfied and happy!
