A good friend of mine from high school, Brittany, annually hosts a Ladies Martini Night where all of our high school girl friends (plus a few new friends too!) get together for some great food, girlie drinks (featuring martinis and beertinis this year), a sprinkling of gossip, a dash of catching up and a large scoop of laughter! This year also featured a great game of Catch Phrase!
So sit, back, relax and take a peak at some of the photos from the evening & enjoy a few recipes below!
I made a quick & easy shrimp dip served with multi-grain and blue tortilla chips. This is a pretty standard party dish, but is high on the favorite list for many people. Here’s the recipe so you can enjoy as well:
- 1 tub of no-fat sour cream
- 1 bar (8 oz) light cream cheese
- Blended the sour cream and the cream cheese together until smooth. Roughly 3-4 minutes on high with beaters. Once blended, place in your serving dish. This will be your base layer.
- One medium bottle/jar of cocktail sauce
- One can of canned shrimp
- Mix cocktail sauce and shrimp together & spread on top of sour cream/cream cheese mix.
- Shred 1/2 cup-3/4 cup iceberg lettuce and scatter onto of cocktail mixture
- Finely dice 2-3 tomatoes and place on top of lettuce
- 2 tbsp diced chives/green onions of which go onto the tomatoes
- 1-1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese as the topping
This is best served chilled with tortilla chips or your choice of crackers and of course with many friends to share it with!
