Today we had our fantasy football draft party at our house. It's the only party we've thrown since last year's draft party. But it was a good excuse to use some of the serving dishes we got for the wedding. I even got to break out our beautiful tree trunk cake stand.
It was an even better excuse to cook some barbecue and other goodies. I had a lot of veggies from our order from The Good of the Land. It's kindof like a co-op, but the woman orders organic produce from a distributor as well as from local farmers. This week we got radishes, green onions, an avocado, a mango, grapes, two starfruit, a cantaloupe, bananas, collard greens, mushrooms and lettuce for $22. I made some radish salsa, guacamole and stuffed mushrooms for the party and also some oatmeal cookies from scratch. YUM!
Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos because I was running around the kitchen all day. But I got the mushroom recipe from The Pioneer Woman. And here is one of her photos......
Ya'll, they were soooo good. The oatmeal cookies were also a hit.
Now, onto my team.
-- Michael Vick
-- Arian Foster
-- Darren McFadden
-- Hakeem Nicks -- go heels!
-- Dez Bryant
-- Owen Daniels
-- DeAngelo Williams
-- Jeremy Maclin
-- Tony Romo
-- Kenny Brit
-- BenJarvus Green-Ellis
-- James Starks
-- Ravens Def.
-- Pierre Garcon
-- and Neil Rackers is my kicker
Not bad, but it's only an 8-team league this year, so everyone's team is good.
