Girl's Night
Yesterday we had a whole bunch of girls over for a cooking day. We had three groups of girls and each group was assigned a certain dish. One group made a Mexican appetizer. The appetizer was nachos and a Mexican salad. The second group made the main dish. The nationality was Italian. They made chicken Alfredo and garlic bread. The third group also made an appetizer and the dessert. The appetizer was cheese bread and the dessert was baklava. It was a lot of fun and everything was delicious.
