Pumpkins!
'Tis the season after all.
We have some great recipes lined up for this one. Hopefully we won't go home with orange tints to our skin.
Oh! And I have a centerpiece/place setting idea that I'm really excited about. Can't wait to share!

Recipes Libby Wanted to Try
 |
| Spaghetti and Meatballs with Bread and Broccoli |
We decided to go with a Libby-themed dinner due to a couple of factors. First, it was Libby's 27th birthday last week. (Happy birthday, Libby!) Second, Libby and Jay just welcomed their second child into the world about 3 weeks ago. (Congrats, Libby and Jay!) We wanted to make sure Libby had an easy, relaxing evening mostly free from cooking and so we asked her to give us some ideas for food that she enjoys. For the meal, Libby picked spaghetti and meatballs, roasted broccoli parmesan, bread, and peanut butter bars. Everything was delicious! But I think we all agreed that the meatballs were the star of the night. Nice work, girls!

February 2010--Seasonal Dishes
February must have been a crazy month becuase I'm not quite sure what happened to all of the recipes. I do know this, however; our seasonal theme might as well have been a lemon theme because we all picked recipes that incorporated lemons. In Utah, seasonal fruits and vegetables are quite limited in the winter months. Anyway, the food was all delicious and a good time was had by all.
Go ahead. Feast your eyes....

May 2010-- Peanuts!
May's theme was peanuts and it was a complete success! All recipes were delicious and enjoyed by everyone. Sadly, Jay had babysitting duty and was unable to attend. Hopefully we'll be able to get the whole group together for the next dine-o-round (which isn't happening until July--June is very busy for everyone). Now, for the recipes....
The chicken "sate" recipe (I thought it was spelled satay) can be found here. It didn't have as much flavor as Libby would have liked. If she did it again, she would serve it with more peanut sauce for dipping, perhaps the one Melissa put on the yummy Thai Peanut Stir-fry. The sake was omitted from the recipe, which made the peanut sauce very sweet. In the future, Melissa would probably cut back on some of the sweeter ingredients, although the recipe was still quite tasty.
Finally, Lindsay prepared peanut butter pudding cups for dessert. I think these can be summed up in one word: AMAZING. The texture was perfect. The flavor was just as it should be. And those chocolate bowls...well, just look at them.
Great job, ladies! Can't wait to see what July has in store for us!
