As you know my Mom's Birthday was Friday and I really enjoyed getting the family together to celebrate. Lets get right to the food! For canapes I went with Baked Brie bites. They are easy to eat and just a little bit different. Here is the easy, elegant recipe:
- 2 boxes Mini Fillo Shells
- 8 oz brie cheese
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
- 3 tbsp chopped pistachios
Preheat oven to 400, cut brie to fit in the middle of the shell, and pop in the oven for about 5 minutes to that the cheese gets warm and all melty. Then, take it out, add a little dab of cranberry and top with pistachios.
For one of the sides I went with ham wrapped asparagus topped with parm cheese. It's a simple side but not your typical green beans.
For the main course, I wanted something elegant so I decided on lamb. Stuffed with garlic cloves and Rosemary, roasted for four hours, it was absolutely divine. This was my first time making lamb and I'm so glad I went for it.
You can't have a party without cake...and champagne of course!
My fabulous family! It was a wonderful celebration for an absolutely fabulous person who means so much to all of us.
