Whenever I find myself in need of creative inspiration, I simply look to the
Kitchen Goddess group. This week, I came across a
killer app — mini celery boats stuffed with chicken salad and peas. I'm thinking these would make a great appetizer to bring to my next book club, since they're bite sized and not too messy.

This week I had my banker over for dinner and I decided to wow him with a Tex-Mex-inspired meal. Naturally,
nachos were on the menu. Since I wanted something a little healthier than chips and melted cheese for the main course, I served the nachos as appetizers.

So you were just asked to be
maid of honor at your best friend's wedding and are horrified at the thought of planning her bachelorette party. Well have no fear all this week I'll guide you through the steps of creating a memorable and wonderful send off for your bff. Start by picking a date and sending the
invitations.

Although you might not generally associate food with a bachelorette party, I can't plan a party (no matter what kind) without offering guests a little something to snack on. The bachelorette will be no different and I'm making an assortment of tasty finger foods for the gals to munch on throughout the afternoon. Following the details on the
invitation, Julie's gal pals will be arriving at 5 pm.
