Parties, Parties, Parties and new recipes

We had several parties to attend this week.  After our Pie-o-neer party on Tuesday we had a Get together with the Bishop's and their wives at our house on Thursday.  I tried two new recipes - Balsamic Black Bean Salsa - you can find the recipe  here and brown sugar brie - you can find the recipe here.  They were fantastic.


Friday night was the cast party - lots of fun and then Saturday night was our ward party.  I had seen these cute cookies at a party that dad and I went to a couple of weeks ago and I had to make them.  They are two vanilla wafers - sandwiched with a grasshopper cookie, dyed green coconut, held together with frosting and topped with warm karo syrup to hold on the sesame seeds.  Thanks dad for the great photography. 
Yesterday we were lucky enough to go hear Cammie Steimle speak before she leaves for her mission.  I made some new cookies for her open house - a variation on Monster Cookies.  Instead of using peanut butter you use Nutella.  They were good - but I really like the original better. Thanks to Something Swanky for the picture, the recipe and bunches of variations on MONSTER COOKIES!!!

  1. My vote is for the Monster Cookies with Nutella. It sure is nice to be the taste tester for so many yummy things around here this past week.
