The Friends: October Dinner






First Dinner: October

So...You might be wondering what a Fancy Pants Dinner Party Club is. We (my friends) came up with the idea for a dinner club after watching the movie "Julie and Julia". The idea is to get together with friends, make delicious food, and drink lots of wine! The dinner menu theme and location will change each month and each person will contribute a dish. We thought it would be fun to create a blog so everyone could enjoy our pictures and recipe ideas. Warning: we are not professional bloggers, writers, cooks, or photographers!
Our first Fancy Pants Dinner Party Club was inspired by the
colors and feel of the fall season.We wanted to create a hearty Italian-inspired menu (NOTHING low cal, and I'm not really sure peanut butter pie is considered Italian but it sure is delicious).

The Menu

Marinated Antipasti



Stuffed Mushrooms



Spinach Salad




Butternut Squash Ravioli with Brown Butter Sage Sauce




Prosciutto wrapped Pork Loin C
hop



Peanut Butter Pie





Ohhh..yeah...and Wine
