Grilled Chicken Tasting Party

We invited a bunch of our favorite food bloggers to a Grilled Chicken Tasting Party.  Take a look at the festivities!

Party of 15

 

Bottom of the grill filled with mints and fake fire

Close up of mini grills put on the table

Chef Cow hiding all the gifts

Party gift for each of the ladies

Our blogger friends!

Quick lesson on how to make the mini fires:
1.  Cut crepe paper in 3 inches strips
2.  Place them together
3.  Fold in half, then fold creased edge two more times
4.  Cut in thin strips (I used Martha Stewart's fringe scissors)
5.  Crinkle loose ends to create texture

TaDa!  Fire!

**Actual party on April 16th.

Goal Countdown... Ho Ho Ho!

Our Operator challenged me to create a "goal thermometer" for our year end target.  I couldn't bring myself to make a boring candy thermometer chart, so I thought of this.  Each stocking was a 10% marker.  The last stocking was laminated so the exact percentage could be written/then erased.  Good news!  We made our goal!

Started with this Christmas school kit

Used the fireplace and the stockings

BFF's

When I saw Dustin Pike released this adorable Freebie Friday image, I instantly had a smile on my face.  This image is sooooo my youngest daughter and her BFF!  If you put them in a line up of young girls, you would never pair these two together.  But whatever works!  BFF's are hard to come by!

It's hard to read the small print on the circle.  It sums up friendships... here's what it says:
"Ingredients: adventure, giggles, kisses, wonder, energy, adventure, motion, joy, happiness, love, glee, and a whole lot of trial and error!"
