We had our very first Girls Dinner Club (for the lack of a better name) this past Saturday.  as you know from reading the blog, the them was Italian.  The majority of the recipes came from Giada de Laurentis' books. LOVE HER!!!

Each and every dish was wonderful and  almost each lady said they were easy to make and most would try them again.  According to the cook, the tiramisu recipe could have been explained a bit better. In fact, she ended up purchasing the tiramisu from a local bakery.

The Apple Thyme martinis were DELISH. We also had plenty of wine.

We had a wonderful time chatting about different recipes, our favorite shows on The Food Network and Cooking TV.  I would say the dinner was a success as we finally ended the party at 11PM.
