Our friends started arriving around 5:30pm. Time for some delicious Tuscan Style Potato Soup! This is my favorite soup that we make at home. It resembles the Zuppa Toscana from Olive Garden, but it's a much healthier recipe from Cooking Light.

The sausages went into the soup. The Balsamic-Browned Butter Asparagus was a side dish. Anne brought the bread.

Tyler, Anne, Gilbert, and Todd, enjoying our dinner together. It really was super-yummy, especially because it's kind of cold here.

Of course, what's a Sugar Bowl viewing without some sugar? Todd used his new Kitchen Aid stand mixer and made a Lemon Lime Layer Cake with cream cheese frosting. It was the most delicious cake!

If you didn't see the game, it was a last minute exciting finish. The Buckeyes won and finally beat a SEC team. It was very exciting and fun to combine good food, good friends, and a good football game! :)
That soup looks soooo yummy. I just went to the website to look at the recipe. Too complicated for me. I can barely make mac & cheese. LOL Maybe I can work my way up to it. :)
ReplyDeleteMy cooking skills are really quite pitiful. :)
sounds and looks really delicious. Glad you had such a perfect time with your friends
ReplyDeleteHow do you make such fabulous food and your kitchen looks so great afterward? After I've cooked, my kitchen looks like a tornado went through it (a tornado named Alice I guess).
