When The Table Dances The Food Sings

This past saturday evening we had an "Adult Dinner" at my parents house. My Mom has started a tradition that we all love. Every few months she will have whats called and "Adult Dinner" at her home for her children and their spouses only...that means NO KIDS ALLOWED!! Now do you see why we all love it?..We get to spend our evening just talking as couples with no interuptions and enjoy amazing food cooked by my Mom. She loves entertaining with food...she is an amazing cook and makes the food look just as good as it tastes. She is the next Paula Deene. I have added a few pics from this past Adult Dinner and then a couple from the one before. My Mom not only makes a yummy 3 course meal but she decorates a beautiful table. Thanks Mom for this wonderful tradition that we all love.



Warning: Your mouth may start to water as you see this yummy food before your eyes

Appetizers/drinks

Salad

Aren't the colors in this salad AMAZING

Main meal

We all got served a whole baby chicken along with beautiful vegetables. Yes by this time we were extremely full

Dessert

I never got a photo of the dessert but it was an olive oil/rosemary cake. I know it sounds yucky but it is delicious.

Thanks again to the amazing chef who made it all happen

I thought I would add a few pics from our last adult dinner and also a couple of pics from last summer from our "Corn Bust" that I meant to put up. You may be asking what is a corn bust? I had no idea either. Apparently when my Mom was growing up her grandma would gather all the cousins, aunts, uncles,etc and gather tons and tons of corn and put out different types of toppings to put on the corn such as onions,cheese,salsa,etc and they would eat their tummys full of corn. It was actually alot of fun! The kids had a blast. Once again all these ideas and decor are ideas of my wonderful Mom.

And....The Corn Bust

And to top that evening off...the ice-cream man came and Papa got all the grandkids an ice-cream! Love this picture. I know this is late getting these photos up but I just had to brag how amazing of a chef my Mom is.



I Love Sundays

I always love sundays. Sometimes I don't really care for the "getting ready" part of it in the mornings because I am left to do it alone due to Mike having early morning church meetings, and of course usually the girls are the crankiest on sunday mornings. But I love the fact that we all get dressed in our sunday best. I love how beautiful our girls are. And I always tell Mike that my favorite outfit from the day I met him is and will always be him in his church suit and tie. There is just something about him in a suit and tie that makes my heart pitter patter  (I never got a pic of him in his suit and tie to put up on the blog due to him at morning meetings on sunday) But like Grama always tells my girls an outfit is not complete without a "SMILE"
