Before co-hosting a bridal shower for my sister-in-law, Rachel, I was supposed to hit up the Fight Childhood Hunger garage sale early Saturday morning, but considering I had a bit of a food crisis (my scones did NOT turn out to my liking), I wasn’t able to make it. Instead, I made an emergency run to Great Harvest Bread Company for cherry coffee cake.
Side note: I swear Great Harvest Bread has saved me several times. I should really write them a thank you letter. Their helpful staff and yummy baked goods are simply wonderful. Thank you for existing!
I only grabbed a couple food shots at the bridal shower; it was a great spread of fresh fruit, homemade granola, organic yogurt, mimosas, and a few baked goods.
The shower went very well and gets me so excited for all the upcoming events!
After the shower, I went to Little Bean Photography in St. Louis Park for some headshots. The owner, Elissa, is part of a group I’m in called Blog Pantry and she offered up free headshots for all of us! I’ll be sure to put it up as a profile pic once I get a copy.
Then, Ryan and I were off to a dinner party at…Robin Asbell’s house! To say I was excited for this would be an understatement. Robin has already published two wonderful
Mac & cheese with shaved truffles
Marinated mushrooms and fingerling potatoes with sorrel from the garden.
Quinoa tabouli with chickpeas
Wild mushrooms atop walnut bread
Ryan and I had such a great time. We were surrounded by fantastic food and great people who I hope to see again. I’m thrilled for Robin and the new cookbook. Cheers!
I love it that you got to test recipes for Robin! How fun is that?!? I have her Grains cookbook and credit it fully to instilling a love for grains in my life. Her Mexican Quinoa recipe has been used to convert many suspicious palates to the great flavors of that grain. Her party sure did look delicious!!
ReplyDeleteUm...Jealous!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting-it was so great to see you and Ryan and I had a great time. I posted the recipe for the mac and cheese and our group pic at robincooksveg@wordpress.com-proving that even healthy food writers make rich party-food!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate, love to hear it!
