Meet us in the Kitchen

Hubby and I lived in St. Louis for a year, before we had children. It was great to be in a big city and fun to make new friends. I was a member of the Jr. League when I was there and that was the best Jr. League headquarters that I have been to. It has a restaurant and it is large enough to hold weddings, parties etc. If you ever have thought about joining the Jr. League and you are moving to a new city-this is the best way to meet new people with similar interests as you. I highly recommend it.

I purchased this cookbook, which is one of my favorites. It is very easy to use with yummy recipes. We went to a pool party last week and I was in charge of bringing a vegetable that adults and children could enjoy. So, I made this. It was easy and enjoyed by all. ( I didn't say it was low fat-you could def. use low fat sour cream)
