My friend Gena offered to bring dessert and said she was gonna whip up a key lime pie. And did she ever! It was SOOOOOO good! She said the credit goes to a Betty Crocker recipe. So, since she was making something light and sweet, I found a recipe for Tequila-Lime Chicken on the super popular Pioneer Woman website. That woman knows what she is doing! I would highly recommend it! So, to round things out, Maha looked up an amazing Corn, Avacado and Tomato Salad on Paula Deen's website....really tasty! Leah and Teresa completed the meal with some wine and it all went together really well.
Gena and her beautiful pie!To finish off a delightful evening, my friends taught me to use a French Press that my friend gave me. As a non-coffee drinker, I have not had much interest in learning how to use it, but they were VERY excited. My friend Amanda that gave it to me also had given me some Caramel Creme coffee from World Market. Again, all these coffee drinkers were VERY excited. I took a couple sips and so badly wanted to like it, but no luck.
Brewing....
Me wanting so badly to like coffee.....guess I will be sticking to Diet Coke for a vice.I was super glad to spend time with these girls and look forward to doing it again! :)

Hey Michelle...I'm so glad you told me about the Pioneer Woman a while ago, now I love her too! I will have to try that recipe...did you make the homemade tortillas? I want to but I am just not sure I could use lard...I mean, it's lard! If you have some fabulous substitution please tell!
Take care,
Janet
