Dinner Party

We had my old roommate and her husband over on Sunday. They are expecting their first baby. I have not seen them since before I was pregnant! Anyhow, we didn't care for each other much while living together - it's amazing how our relationship is better now that we don't live together!

They are vegetarians so I made a salad with avocado, radish, carrot, cucumber and baby greens. For an appetizer, I made a bruschetta with olive oil, balsamic vineagar, grape tomatoes, green onions, avocado and buffalo mozzarella all served on some really great crusty bread. It's so good. Make it.

My husband wanted to do the main course - eggplant parmesan. I have only tried it once and didn't care for it then. Well, I found a recipe where you bake it instead of fry it and I still didn't like it. I just don't like eggplant. It has a soggy bread consistency to me and I can't stand that texture. Eeew. Everyone else seemed to like it (or they said they did and cleaned their plate).

For dessert (the best part) I made mini napoleans. I used puff pastry and topped with cool whip, nutella and strawberries. Puff pastry rocks.

wow, you guys sound like amazing cooks! I wish I could make such creative meals - I find it really challenging to cook more than 2 types of dishes - like appetizer and main dish - is complicayed enough for me - let alone dessert! maybe you can post some of your favorite recipes here in the future? :)
