It's been over a year, but I'm back! I'm switching directions and writing about our Tuesday Supper Club. Several weeks ago, I was complaining to my sister-in-law about all the great recipes I'd like to try, but my family is NOT creative eaters. Her boyfriend feels the same way. So, we decided to all get together once a week and try something new and different. Thus far, we've had six amazing menus (some better than others) and I'd like to share.

Week 1: Shrimp & Sausage Paella - so-so...I think I chopped the artichoke hearts too small - would've had more flavor if they were more chunky

Week 2: Pasta Jambalaya, corn on the cob and New England Molasses bread - this was pretty good except it was a microwave recipe and the pasta didn't do that well

Week 3: Mediterranean Chicken Pitas - our hands down favorite so far!

Week 4: Creamy Lemon-Pesto Chicken and Linquine with garlic Texas toast - Yum! We also had Weathervane Tropical Wave wine slushies.

Week 5: BBQ-Bacon Stuffed Meatloaf, roasted new potatoes and Brussel sprouts, yeast rolls - catering to the picky ones, we made one with mushrooms (per the recipe) and one without - look, Ma, no leftovers!

Week 6: Spinach & Feta stuffed roasted Salmon, corn on the cob, yeast rolls, frozen strawberry margaritas - this was simply amazing...

Coming up: Shrimp Scampi and Asparagus Risotto...

So, grab a couple of cookbooks and start your own! Good fellowship, good food, good wine - what could be better?

Happy Tasting!
