May Girl’s Night
Every month we try to have a night just for us girls. Make the guys watch the kids (who are usually in bed by that point) and go have some grownup time. Last month it was my turn to host.
I went with a “Spa Food” theme.
Sesame-Crusted Tofu Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette
This was SO good. I’ll be making this dressing again. And the tofu had a really nice flavor.
Herb-Infused Spa Water
Really added a kick to plain ole water. It was quite herbal and I might try going with half the amount of herbs next time.
Lemon and Blueberry Tarts:
Take phyllo cups, fill with Lemon Curd, top with a Blueberry.
And it might be spa-worthy but we had a good amount of Mexican Martinis. Not as good as Trudy’s but we used:
2 oz Tequila
1 oz each Triple Sec & OJ
1/2 Lime Squeezed
Splash of Olive Juice
Fill remainder with sweet and sour.
Shake with ice.
Salt the rim, Garnish with olives.
And of course chocolate and guacamole, because who doesn’t like that?
Much fun was had by all. It was a good night together before a few participants moved away. I hope it’s an event I can continue in my new location.
