Holy crap dude, I was fully ready to do the obligatory "you did such a good job", but you legit did a professional-level job lady! I love the food markers and the chocolate mouse thing looks delish (and Harper is adorbs)

I request margarita shrimp, caprese bites, & goat cheese/herb sammies!
It all sounds so good

JANCANDANCE · December 2013

Margarita Shrimp:
I use Prawns so this recipe is for a larger shrimp. If you use smaller shrimp maybe adjust the marinade! I did yesterday lol!

4 limes juiced
4 tablespoons of Cuervo Tequila
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 tablespoon of Triple Sec
Salt and pepper
About 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro

You can cook the shrimp however you like. I usually grill them or bake the shrimp and then make an additional marinade to pour over the shrimp.

Marinate and serve either chilled or grill the shrimp on skewers and serve in a martini glass with a salted rim and a lime

I also make a simple corn and mango salsa to go with it as well.

JANCANDANCE · December 2013

Caprese Bites!
So easy!
Cherry tomato, basil, and fresh mozzarella.

Skewer them and drizzle with balsamic vinegarette and salt and pepper.

I had a few left and here they are

JANCANDANCE · December 2013

Goat cheese sammies

1 pack of cream cheese
About 10 oz of Montrechat goat cheese
1 teaspoon of each minced garlic, thyme, and parsley
6 tablespoons of heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste

Blend all of those in your mixer. If you need to make it creamier just add more cream to "thin" it out.

I use a herb crusted thinly sliced bread from our Whole Foods bakery but any bread you like will do.

Spread it on and make a sandwich and cut in some cutesy way.

My cutesy see way is called triangles.

Wow!!!! I have had an awful stomach ache and zero appetite all day but I am not salivating over these photos. Everything looks delicious. I wish you lived in buffalo so you can come cater my parties!
