I have hardly cooked this week. We've been eating leftover chili (which I've shared on here before) or have eaten out.
But my book club met this week, and I took photos to share with y'all. We had so many yummy things. We have two women who make amazing Persian food--one of them vegan. Others have other dietary needs, like gluten-free or lactose-free. So it's always a wonderful treat to try new things!
I also wanted to take photos because the book club member who hosted us has a beautifully-decorated home. She greeted us with spiced apple cider that made the whole house smell good.
The dessert table! I brought brownies. :)
This pastry tree had spinach inside. So yummy.
A gorgeous fruit salad.
This was the vegan Persian dish--Lubia polo. Instead of ground beef, I believe she used a soy substitute. I found a recipe here.
Shrimp cocktail and a veggie pizza.
We also had those amazing ham and cheese sliders made with Hawaiian rolls (you've probably had the recipe before). Some of my favorites.
We had a wonderful time and did a gift exchange. We barely had time to discuss the book for the month! :) It's been the most fun group. We were total strangers when we started meeting over a year and a half ago and have gradually added more neighbors. We've become friends and are so thankful we all met.
Are y'all involved in a book club?
