I live for the weekends. We all know this. I mean how long have we been together now? Our whole lives? Well it seems that way. You’re my favorite part of the day.

This weekend however, was a complete whirlwind. I mean NUTS! Ridiculous even…in my best Snagglepuss voice. I miss those cartoons, don’t you? Oops. Bunny trail. Back to the out of control weekend.

Saturday I spent the day at the grocery store shopping for my brunch class on Saturday night. The class was great! We made Shrimp & Grits, quiche and a great fruit salad dressing using Persian Lime Olive Oil and Serrano Honey Balsamic Vinegar. M.MMM.MMM.

I got home in just enough time to catch a few hours sleep before heading back to prepare for catering Leaning Ladder’s First Year Anniversary with a few hundred of their closest friends. We made Blackberry Ginger Meatballs, Mini Squash Quiches, Prosciutto Wrapped Chili Shrimp, Crostini with Olive Spread, Ricotta and Balsamic Tomatoes, Crostini with Peaches, Marscapone and Blue Cheese, Mini Caprese Skewers, Goat Cheese with Raspberry Chipotle Sauce and Candied Jalapenos, and three types of fruit and yogurt parfaits with various Balsamic Vinegars and Granola. We also had cupcakes-a-plenty, blood orange brownies, loaves and loaves and loaves of bread with Italian Bread dip, a Charcuterie tray and cheese plate, punch, beer, wine LAWERD!

After all of that, when we wrapped up late Sunday afternoon, take ONE guess what I did. Yep! I went home and cooked dinner 🙂 You know me so well. It’s what I do.

Asian Blackberry Ginger Turkey Wraps
