143.2…A Lot of Appetizers

I had such a fabulous time last night at Bunco.

What’s not to like? Wine, great food and all my favorite girlfriends! Speaking of food, I dominated the appetizers.

Caprese bites:

Chicken skewers with a peanut sauce:

Scallop puffs:

Arancini with creamy horseradish dipping sauce:

My pal Dina and I:

Dinner was served! Breadsticks:

And roasted red pepper soup!

I didn’t snap any pictures of dessert because I didn’t eat any! I was able to resist and was proud of myself. I did have a few glasses of wine and a TON of appetizers so I guess it was best dessert missed my plate.

Breakfast was a waffle with Teddie peanut butter and a side of strawberries:

I took the kids to school and went to Zumba.

Since “Operation Clean Out The Freezer” in in full effect, I pulled out lunch from my freezer: the last of Campbell’s Skillet Cheesy Chicken and Rice. Since it was a bit bland last time, I jazzed it up with a bunch of Cholula hot sauce. That will fix most problems.

Lunch was complete with a salad.

I went grocery shopping and picked the kids up from school. I spent the rest of the day preparing my Thanksgiving sides. Once everything is cool, I pop them into the freezer and my sides are done! On Thanksgiving day, once the turkey comes out to rest, I put my defrosted sides in the oven to bake. Makes the big day a lot less stressful!

How do you eliminate stress while entertaining?
