Impromptu Dinner Party

 

Ever have a surprise guest stop by unannounced?!

Still want to be the HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTEST and entertain?!

 

Below is a super quick appetizer I whipped up yesterday when I had a friend come over:

 

First, I diced onion, yellow bell pepper and red bell pepper together and threw them into a pan with a little bit of oil. salt and pepper.

 

 

 

 

I let the veggies simmer on low heat until the onion turned a golden brown. One fully cooked, I added the veggies and some cheese on top of a tortilla...

 

 

trying to get my Veggie Quesadilla's good side ;)

 

 

Cut, Plate, add sour cream, hot sauce, a little more hot sauce, and WHALAH!

What To Eat...

This recipe is simple, colorful and looks downright classy ;)

Goat cheese served on crisp seeded baguette with fresh fruit and your favorite preserves makes a tasty dinner party snack or a fabulous brunch side.

What To Drink...

Spiked Cherry Lemonade

Perfect for a summer time Dinner Party

What You'll Need:

• Chambord Cherry Flavor
• Lemonade
• Fresh Cherries (pitted)
• Vodka
• a wet whistle ;)

First, pit the cherries (I used about 5 for one cocktail) and stir them into 1/3 vodka... this allows for the vodka to take on that fresh cherry taste...

Next, add 2/3 lemonade and just a splash of the Chambord on top

MIX WELL...

AND ENJOY!!
