Noche de Tostadas!
Last night’s community dinner was potluck due to my crazy work week. I have a giant fundraiser tomorrow night and have been a bit overwhelmed this week. I still needed my dose of Thursday night community dinner, and when I suggested potluck, everyone was sweet and agreed.
We had chicken tostadas, spinach salad, quesadillas, guacamole and a yummy bean dip that I am craving again this morning — all with some fabulous wine Amanda brought that I hadn’t ever heard of before. Tostadas are my very favorite Mexican food. I could eat them every day. Chicken, black bean and guacamole is my favorite combination.
And of course there was dessert. I made chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. Morag made a wonderful margarita fruit salad.
I realize this blog is heavy on the food lately. With a roommate I simply don’t have the same room to craft. And with this work project, I haven’t had the time to work around the space issue. Thankfully next week is clear and my CAOK project list is ready for some attention.
Now, off to find some eggs for a tostada breakfast…
Sounds delicious!(And, you must share that recipe - I don’t like raisins, so I’d be all over those chocolate chip oatmeal cookies!)
February 29th, 2008 at 7:35 amMmmmm… black beans & guac. Margarita fruit salad?! Any chance you have that recipe?!
February 29th, 2008 at 8:00 amI made black bean tacos the other night and they were soooooooo good. I mixed a can of refried black beans in with the ground turkey taco meat - it made the perfect consistancy and the meat didn’t just fall off like it sometimes does. I hadn’t made tacos at home in AGES! Put that back on the “frequent meals” list!
And I posted something to the CAOK pool today - finally! I had been wanting to do it for agaes and finally got the chance.
Cheers, Kelli! Have a great weekend and good luck with your fundraiser!
February 29th, 2008 at 8:09 amYUM YUM YUM. I have to admit though, my sweet tooth is calling out most for those cookies….
February 29th, 2008 at 8:20 amYum, yum - tostadas sound great! Is it strange that now I’m craving them, even though it’s only 10:30 in the morning?
February 29th, 2008 at 8:31 amOh man..I’m really hungry now..
February 29th, 2008 at 12:08 pmLooks yummy! Hope your fundraiser goes well my friend. Fingers crossed for you…..
February 29th, 2008 at 7:37 pmTostadas could be my new favorite Mexican food. A friend made them for lunch a while ago and they were delicious and so easy. She mixed the meat from a deboned rotisserie chicken (sotre bought), a can of Veg All and some mayo. Top with a few dashes of hot sauce and you’ve got a Chicken Salad Tostada.
February 29th, 2008 at 10:58 pmAnd we’re gonna complain about a food-heavy blog? Naaaaaah, never! Good luck with your big fundraiser.
March 1st, 2008 at 12:59 pmI love all the food entries!
March 2nd, 2008 at 6:30 amI think that its great you have a night with your friends and food… I need to get something like that going in my life too!
Oh man, I love all the food entries too! I am craving bean dip, and it’s 10 in the morning!
March 3rd, 2008 at 10:14 am[…] 27, 2008 · No Comments Easter Dinner, my take on Kelli’s Community Dinners. 25 of our new friends came over lastSunday for a delicious Easter dinner potluck. Fun was had by all and Joe and I are so glad to have that 14 person dining room table for all the entertaining we love to do. Although we had to set up 3 other tables as well for the overflow and the kids. […]
