You betta recognize! Okay all horn touting aside, last night was a pretty big nite. Dave's boss and a huge client were over for dinner. Dave thought it'd be better to have them over to our house for dinner than a restaurant. So I spent all afternoon cooking a can't fail dinner:
1. my momma's "make-ya-slap-somebody" jambalaya .... this takes three hours of baby-ing
2. jalapeno cornbread made with cream style corn, cheese and those hot and spicy little peppers we all love so much (don't rub your eyes yo)
3. a salad to end all salads: baby cucumbers, baby tomatoes, snow peas, radishes, broccoli, and etc with four dressings (I had some left over for lunch, yummy)
and to wrap it all off......
I was clueless about desserts. Because it's my kitchen, the entire meal was gluten-free but it's not something I announce to everyone so I needed a kill dessert to top it off. Except my signature recipe: carrot cake? I made that last time his boss came to dinner... you just don't do that you know. So I dug around and looked for something yummy.
Couldn't find shit, so I made my own recipe and if I do say so myself, those blueberry and cream cheese scones OMGAWD, seriously there was none left, cause our guests took them home in goodie bags.
So yeah, I rocked that beotch out of the park. Plus it was so cute how thrilled Dave was with my skillz. When I want to, I can really do some cool things with this gluten free thing going.
On the GF note: found a new tummy doc. Now we are doing more testing to see how I'm doing and then I'll be all healthy and fun!
