Last week, my blogger-and-real-life friend Crying is the New Croquet decided to host a Ladies Who Lunch. And since we all know I like to eat, and in some parts of the world I might be considered a lady, I was all over it.
On the Menu:
Bruschetta
Black Bean and Corn Salad
Chef's Salad
For the Kids:
Dino-Bites
Pizza Roll-ups
I'm sure you'll be shocked to know I was too busy strapping on the old feedbag to get recipes for everything. But I did manage to get the deets on my two favs, the Corn and Bean Salad and the Pizza Roll-ups.
Black Bean and Corn Salad
1 can of black beans.
1.5 cups frozen sweet organic corn.
2 scallions chopped
2 cloves of garlic (crushed through a press)
1 tomato diced
Olive oil (about a tbsp or less if you want it lighter)
Lime juice
Salt
Rinse beans. Combine all ingredients. Let it sit and mingle for a few hours. (Can also be served wrap style with Bibb lettuce.) (I ate it with a shit ton of tortills chips.)
I couldn't stop eating all her beans and corns.
Worth Noting: Word on the street is, this is a Weight Watchers recipe. Which is shocking because it was fucking delicious and usually I only like stuff when it's one Weight Watcher's "EAT THIS AND DIE" list.
Pizza Roll-ups
Pillsbury pizza dough
Sauce
Cheese
Pepperoni
and any other toppings you might like
Flatten out pizza dough. Prepare with toppings as usual. Roll up into a log. Slice into generous 1 inch thick rounds. Fit rounds side by side in a round pie dish. Bake according to dough instructions or until tops brown.
Here are some other shots of the stuff I ate.
Every lunch should have Mimosas. Whether you're on the clock or not is irrelevant.
Bruschetta vs. TILTE. (Spoiler Alert: I won.)
A salad topped with potatoes, avocado, and chicken (among other things) is MY kind of salad.
More pizza roll-ups.
Bailey, the Wonder Weiner/ Butler. He sat on his butt like this the whole time we were at the table.
