The Launch Party

Posted by on Sep 12, 2011 | 4 Comments

Over the weekend, we had our much-anticipated CookingForYouAndMe.com Launch Party! It was so much fun and it was such a pleasure to make delicious food (all from scratch) for all the guests. I tried to make a sampler of items already posted on the website and some that were coming soon. The menu consisted of:

1. Leek confit, Goat Cheese, and Pancetta Crostatas

2. Marinated Hangar Steak with Blue Cheese and Bacon Fingerling Potatoes

3. Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits with Brie, Prosciutto, & Homemade Fig Preserves

4. Homemade Rosemary Bread with Ham and Gruyere

5. Mozzarella, Beet, Fig, & Strawberry Skewers with a Balsamic Vinegarette

6. Twisted Guacamole

7. Creamy Banana Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

8. S’mores Cookies with Marshmallow Icing and Shaved Milk Chocolate

9. Fluffy Sugar Cookies with Fluffy Vanilla Frosting

10. Salted Chocolate-dipped Shortbread Cookies with Homemade Strawberry Jam

12. Cinnamon-Sugar Sweet Bread

13. Triple Chocolate-Chip Cookies (Goodie bags)

The food disappeared in the blink of an eye so I will take that as a good thing!  Thank you everyone for coming and making the launch party a success!
