Dinner Party!

So my sister and her family are coming over for dinner tonight and she has directed me not to cook any of that 'healthy crap'....pfffft...I do not take direction well so I am making a whole food extravaganza and she'll never even know! Hahahahahaha!
Well, until I tell her!

I am making my world famous (well, family famous) pot roast with veg and gravy (that is so yummy I believe my brother in law would eat it with a spoon!) as whole-food as possible (until I figure out otherwise that is!) and the meat is crap-free, the veg is alllll organic, the mushroom soup is home made, I could not come up with a suitable replacement for powered onion soup mix, so that stayed in...put it in my new roasting pan (woke up this morning and discovered that I did not have one, so made a quick run to the store!) et voila! I am even making ceasar salad with organic lettuce, homemade croutons (I use bagels, olive oil, garlic & salt and toast them in the oven) and real bacon (that sadly isn't crap free - BUT I am happy to have seen an organic butcher not to far from my place and he's gonna get a visit from me very soon). Top that all off with a loaf of whole grain bread (not organic) and some yummy lemon soda (fresh squeeze lemon juice, cane sugar, sparkling water) and we're done! For appetizers I am just putting out some salsa (fresh) and some organic corn tortilla chips, and some olives (because I freaking LOVE olives!) and we're done! :)

For dessert, I have no idea what my sister is bringing (don't care as long as I get to play with my niece) but I bought a huge pomelo which is like a GIANT grapefruit - it's from Asia and they have all kinds of neat produce there! The taste is very mild, and not very juicy- it's hard to describe...but it is refreshing and yummy!




Look at the pithe on that baby! I bet someone somewhere candies that rind and it's deeeelish!

  1. Our family loves pommelos! We each take a big chunk and eat it with our heads separating all the juicy segments. Gonna have some right now.
