I stepped out of my comfort zone of "desserts" and ventured into creative meal planning this weekend. My friend and kitchen-cohort at Social, Adriene Rathbun, invited me to teach a Valentine's Day-themed class in her lovely home this morning. I normally keep things pretty sweet when I teach classes for Social, but this time I tried to make it a full-meal-deal.
On the menu today:
Romantic Rollups
I Heart Meatloaf
Passionate Potatoes
Spicy Sweetheart Shrimp
For-the-love-of-Fudge
Love Potion #9
Seven wonderful women watched and chatted as I showed them a few easy tricks they could do in the kitchen to create fun & fabulous food for their loved ones. Here are a few pics from the morning. Thanks to all who attended. You were full of great stories and lots of laughs - not a bad way to spend a Saturday. It was a pleasure to share a plate with you! (Hope you had fun too.)
