Saturday, 15 August 09 Party Lite Party!

A couple weekends ago (I've been terrible at updating this thing!) I hosted a Party Lite party. I'd gone to one Cheryl hosted a couple weeks prior, and realized I couldn't afford anything I wanted unless I had a party...and of course our house needed more stuff, so...a party I had!

What we feasted upon:

* K's killer artichoke/spinach dip - this time with the added flair of Tilamook pepperjack cheese in lieu of feta...served with soft french bread, carrots & celery
* Zucchini dip, served with costco's organic tortilla chips -
Ingredients: 1 medium zucchini, cubed; 2 tbsp. white sugar; 1 tbsp. soy sauce; 1 clove garlic, chopped; 3/4 tsp. dried oregano; 2 c mayonnaise. Directions: (1) Place zucchini in a saucepan and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 5 mins. Drain and transfer to a food processor. Process until smooth. Add the rest of the ingredients (except mayo) and process until blended. (2) Transfer the pureed mixture to a serving bowl and stir in the mayonnaise. Chill for at least an hour before serving.
* homemade chocolate chip cookies
* strawberries
* wine, of course!

In attendance were: My mom and sister Aimee (her first time meeting the house), our favorite new neighbor Allison, Sarah J, Heather K, Cheryl S (who has just re-become a Party Lite consultant herself. Visit http://www.partylite.biz/sites/cherylsloan to buy stuff from her!), her adorable daughter Desi, Julie, Betsy, Christy and her friend Lauren, My wonderful mother-in-law, Kathy and grandmother-in-law, Marilyn, and of course our fabulous consultant, Brenda.

Thanks so much to everyone who came and helped me score all this cool (& nearly free) stuff:
