Ladies Godiva

Donna hosted our latest supper with, yes, a CHOCOLATE theme!!  Every recipe needed needed to incorporate cocoa or chocolate into its dish!  Check out one of the most delicious meals, yet!

 

Maureen, Mary (Donna's Guest), Jill, Donna & Holly

 

Donna's gorgeous dining room with a blue, white and chocolate brown color scheme.

 There are the menus and placecards I made.....and look closely...

 ...oh yes she did.....white tulips surrounded by chocolate chips!!!!!! Donna's a genius!!

Appetizer: Shrimp with Mole Poblano

 Maureen making us scrumptious banana martinis, complete with cocoa covered bananas! MMMM

 Mesclun Salad with Berries and sweet and spicy almonds! Except Mary used cocoa covered almonds instead to stick with the theme...it was absolutely delicious!!!

 Me, Mary and the frog pitcher (our mascot of the night! lol)

 And the silliness begins!

 Beef with Spicy Cocoa Gravy was out of this world!!!!     

 along with Holly's Braised Kale with Bacon and Cider...mmm.

The night ended by the fire with more wine and possibly hot cocoa... :)!
