Diner and Jam Party was a Great Success!

First of all I so want to thank all who came - friends and musicians alike. It was simply a great gathering of even greater people. I was even surprised that the music simply woahed my head, it was spinning fantastic. I will put up photos in a bit, but I am back to getting this art studio finally organized.

Today's Dinner and Jam Party Menu

So I am off like a prom dress this morning in getting some last minute ingredients for my party this evening. I decided to make this one menu very simple and not go too crazy which I have done in the past. My money was very tight this particular week, so here goes anything and everything:

• Leah's Famous Fresh and Sexy Spicy Salsa
  
• Nachos with homemade chili, fresh jalapeños and homemade guacamole
  
• Lasagna with fresh ricotta, fresh mozzarella, homemade meat sauce with sausage
• Penne Pasta with Sausage and broccoli served cold
• Salad with razz berry vinaigrette, homemade croûtons from homemade bread
  
• Homemade Brownies with mint chips
• Red Wine Sangria with fresh farmer's market fruit
• Homemade Fruit Soda Punch
  

I just hope I will have enough food - if not, we can always order some pizza. Not necessarily is this one of my best menus, but being on a strict budget, I had to do what I had to do. But I am known for the items being all homemade...so I got to make this blog posting brief - off I go to do some food shopping! I will tell you all how it came out! Chow Ciao!
