Whenever I know I'm having 'company' I love to try new recipes. I like to experiment on my guests and this get together was no exception. I chose 3 recipes that I'd book marked while browsing blogs. This is my blogger's sampling....
vanilla cupcakes from leslie {I'm convinced that these little babies are cousins to pound cake....they were a huge hit....the cake is dense and rich...and the batter was just as good as the cupcakes! we ate them with berries spooned over them! swoon.}
oreo cream fudge from kris {if you have a serious sweet tooth, these are for you! they were so easy to make....but be warned! They are RICH...and oh so good.}
So, there you have my blogger's sampling....it was a fun way to try out some new recipes. I highly recommend any of these recipes if you're having a get together of your own.

Warm wishes, Tonya
What a wonderful way to spend time with friends. Those are some of my faovrite moments of the warm weather; quiet time outdoors with my friends. Thanks for sharing all the yummy goodness
Cucumber limeade. That sound soooo good. I've been making my own soda syrups lately from fresh fruit, but this sounds even better. Must make some tonight. Your evening sounds lovely. I should plan one of these get-togethers, but where to ship the kids to??? I don't think all three can be out of the house at the same time -- it just never seems to work that way.
"We actually completed entire conversations." Hehe...oh, I know about how that feels like an accomplishment! Sounds like a lovely, lovely get-together. : ) Also, the cucumber lime-ade sounds delightfully intriguing.
We had couples over for dinner a few weeks ago which was great fun. I think it also sounds neat just to have girlfriends over. The cupcakes are on my list to try.
Hello, great blog you have! Question for you..can you tell me where you purchased the really cool candle holder that wraps around your umbrella pole? LOVE it!!! Thanks!

Oh, what fun--a girlfriends get-together! LOVE these goodies...mmm... I must try that Oreo fudge! And that cucumber limeade--sound so refreshing for warm summer days. Glad you had a great time, Lisa. I will be needing to take an unexpected break for a few days, so may be slow to be around. I will post about it tomorrow. Happy Week :o) ((HUGS))
What does the phrase "completed entire conversations" mean anyway? It has a familiar ring to it. Hmmm... maybe I need a girl's night. :)
I have to admit I'm jealous of your girl-time. Sounds like you're nurturing a lot of great relationships. Thanks for the recipe recommendations! Guess I need to plan a party!
This sounds like such a perfect summertime evening! Thanks for the recipe links ... I can't wait to re-create your scene at my house :-)

Hi! It's fun to be back reading YOUR fabulous blog. Such a fun evening you ladies had! I just copied off the limeade recipe for my next gathering.
