Hoboken hosted their annual St. Patrick’s Day parade this weekend, and to celebrate, my friend made a feast of green snacks at her apartment. Simple, yet fun, it included green chocolate covered strawberries, green creme cheese and bagels and adorable green cupcakes. And you can’t forget to include a green veggie tray and “pot of gold” jello.

Oreo Truffles
December 30, 2010
My cousin’s oreo truffles he made for a family gathering were a huge hit. Simply done, you crush oreos into a bowl, mixing in creme cheese, and then rolling out to balls and dipping in melted chocolate. On to the fun part– drizzling white melted chocolate and powdered sugar to make them look like they’re worth a million.

Holiday Dinner Party
December 6, 2010
Saturday evening we gathered at Leslie’s for a holiday dinner party with a hugely successful menu. Vicky and Dario are visiting from Milan, so we not only gave them a taste of New York, but had a little bit of Italy with their eggplant parmigiana. Other dishes included cheese stuffed meatballs, spinach gnocchi, grilled gouda and apple sandwiches, pudding pasta, potato latkes and apple sauce, onion and mushroom bruschetta, salad and delicious cookies for dessert.
