weekend menu wrap up and a sneak peek!

Whew! It was a busy weekend and I spent most of it in the kitchen! Here is the lowdown on the food:

I didn't actually get to try any of the Steak and Guinness pie but several people told me it was the best thing on the menu and it was gone in a hurry so it must've been good! (I cheated and used already made pie crust crumbs that just required water and rolling out)

I also didn't get a chance to try the Irish Stew but there were hardly any leftovers so I'll assume it was tasty as well. :)

The Corn Beef was awe.some. if I do say so myself! I will say though, it shrinks a lot when you cook it so there wasn't much to go around but it was delish!

I made 2 different kids of soda bread, in my post below is the link for one, here is the link for the other. Adam and I both preferred the plain bread versus the one with the currants, and the plain one got finished off but there was still 1/4 of the other left so I guess the general consensus preferred the plain. Both were good though!

The guinness chocolate cake was to.die.for. I didn't anticipate liking it since it had beer in it and I'm not a fan of beer but it was sooooooooooooooooo good! It was dense/moist/rich/YUMMY. I didn't go to all of the work to make the sauce, when I saw that you had to light it on fire I decided to pass, I just put carmel sauce on it and that did the trick just fine!

I also made this peanut butter pie. I've made this recipe for years and its always a hit. I don't make it the "light" way so I can't speak to that, but the fattening way is just plain delish!

I also made this vegetarian dish since there were a couple veges in the bunch, I thought it would be good but ohmygosh, it was so good! Its definitely going to be a repeater, maybe for meatless Monday?

It was a lot of time in the kitchen but worth it, we had a lot of fun.

All right, gotta get back to editing this cute session, here is a sneak peek of what's to come! Hope you all had a lovely weekend! xo
