Baking Bonanza!

Tonight I had 5 wonderful women over for dinner. I made my favorite go-to company meal - Texas 2 Step Chicken with rice. I used medium salsa this time and it was kinda kicky, but not so much that we didn't eat it. It was weird to entertain only women after a school year of feeding both genders...no one took seconds!...at least I hope that was a gender thing and not a reflection on the meal! :)

After dinner these amazingl women spent the evening helping me bake yummy treats for my twin nieces' high school graduation open house. I agreed to make 24 dozen tuxedo brownie cups and another 24 dozen mini cheesecakes for their open house. It took about 6 hours to get it all made - though around 10:00 the crowd started to dwindle. Amanda stayed until about 12:30 - even helping me do dishes after it was all done! It feels good to have all the baking done. And the food looks great!

Here are some photos from the fun!
