This weekend can be summed up by saying “Good times with good people.”
Kiersten and me

Friday night, once Kiersten and Taylor had arrived, we went out for a drink and then headed home for an app-tastic dinner. Sometimes I love “snacking” my way through a meal. A little of this, a little of that.
Honestly though, the whole reason for the app-tastic dinner: I’ve been craving stuffed dates like a crazy woman.
Dates stuffed with honey goat cheese and wrapped in bacon. What a mouth-full. Literally. And on the right, home-grown jalapenos stuffed with veggie cream cheese and a little bit of bacon. Bacon is totally necessary.
ohmydelicious. meltinyourmouthamazing.
The app-tastic line-up also included coconut chicken tenders. Big Guy loves coconut shrimp – but Meat head is allergic to shrimp – so I went with chicken. These turned out fabulous despite the blurry pics (I was just so excited).
My plate. Don’t worry, I went back for another date. And on top of the tenders, two different dipping sauces…one was a Mango Coconut and the other Sweet Chili Sauce.
Seriously, those dates are out of control. Best appetizer ever.
Oooh honey adds a whole NEW dimension to the dates. Love it. What about maple syrup? Did I tell you about the chorizo stuffed dates wrapped in bacon I had recently? Oh my goll….
