I had a wonderful day yesterday, I had some very special friends over for lunch. Just a girl kinda day. We sat and talked and laughed the afternoon away!!! Some were friends from school some were neighbors and my daughters even showed up for a while... The summer is just going by so fast, faster then I want it too... I missed my friends from school, I hadn't seen them since school let out. Then with all this hot weather I knew we didn't have a chance for rain!!! Rain what is that? It was a beautiful day to walk around the gardens, even though they are dry and parched from all the heat, and the water barrels are DRY!!!
Here was the menu:
Gazpacho
Pack Along Pitas
Dip and Crackers
Peach Cream Crumble Pie
Key Lime Pie
Pink Lemonade
Iced Tea
Wine
Gazpacho is a Spanish style cold soup made up of uncooked vegetables in a tomato juice broth with lots of fresh herbs. Great for a summer lunch on a hot day!!!
This is what my aunt Jean called "Pack Along Pitas"
I bet I have had this recipe for 25 years and I still love making it...
Here is the recipe:
Here is the recipe:1- 8 oz. cream cheese
1 or 2 cups of cream style cottage cheese (I use 1)
1 pkg. dry Mrs. Grass Vegetable Soup Mix
1/2 C. finely chopped Green Onions
1 tsp. sesame seeds
2 Tbs. lemon juice
2 Tbs. lemon juice
6 hard cooked eggs- chopped
6 pita breads, halved
spinach and lettuce leaves
Mix first 7 ingredients together I just put everything in my Kitchen Aide mixer and blend well.
Let set overnight to blend flavors.
Line pitas with spinach and lettuce and top with about 1/3 cup egg mixture.
This is Peaches & Cream Crumble Pie.
I wish I could remember who's Blog I got this off of because I would love to thank them for the recipe it was AMAZING!!!
So if you are out there speak up please...
This is Key Lime Pie one of my favorites, but of course I had to have a piece of both today since it was the first time for the Peach Pie. I told everyone I was testing it out on them and I'm glad I did!!!Of course we had plenty of Cool Whip to top them off with!!! LOL
My husband ask if the women liked the pies? I just looked at him and said what woman doesn't like pie!!! Da
Have a Great Weekend,

Great recipes, thanks for sharing all of they. I think I will need to try the dessert recipe first. I have a big sweet tooth. Geri
I think your husband was hoping they didn't like the pie so there would be more for them. My family always looked so neglected when I created lovely meals for friends. It paid to make a little extra for them. Spoiled brats.
Looks like a lovely lunch!
What a great time you all must have had!! Thanks for sharing your party!!
Wow! The food looks fantastic! Would love that pie recipe.

That menu was outstanding and your recipes sound delightful. Thanks so much for sharing them with us. That peaches and cream pie has my name written on it.
Looks very delicious! The gazpacho looks so colorful and appealing, you have everything nicely displayed too!
I'm not familiar with Mrs. Grass; would Knorr's be comparable? I would like to try this recipe. Beginning August 5, I will be hosting Crock Pot Wednesdays at Diningwithdebbie.blogspot.com, and I hope you will join me. THERE WILL BE PRIZES:)!!!
My Dad would have loved you, He loved peach pie and that looks so delicious.I have never had Key Lime pie but I know I would like it. Of course I love all sweets.
The good looks great. I am glad to hear you are back at Barrackville. I have bid on everything but I haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully something will come up.
