May Lunch Club in June

Hi Everyone,

Its been awhile since my last post. With swim season, baseball season and end of school keeping me and my three boys busy, it has been a difficult task to sit down and write about my favorite club. Ladies Lunch Club.

We got together this week at Jen's. It was an intimate group of 5. Then when Julie had to leave because her 4yr. old was not enjoying herself our little lunch became even smaller. But there is something to be said about the smaller groups. Our conversations are sometimes more livelier!

We really went off on some unusual tangents this week. As I mentioned before, our kids are growing up. The hot topic this month, I have to say was about how much we can we tell our kids about the opposite sex, about life, about growing up. At what age is the sex talk appropriate. 

As we agree everyone has to do what is right for them and for their family. It was enlightening. 

I loved the appetizer Jen served this month. She said it was a standard at all her family events. Aimee could attest to that since they are sister in-laws. 

Jen served blue cheese with crushed pecans. She purchased the cheese from Trader Joes and served it with apple slices and crackers. She also served candied pecans to put on the apple and cheese as a topping. Delicious! We must have stood around that table and ate 90% of it. 

For our lunch, Jen served caesar salad and spaghetti in a light red sauce with shrimp. Very good, simple and satisfying.

Aimee made the most delicious cake. It was the Cooking Light Lemon Pound Cake with Chambord glaze served with Chantilly creme and raspberries. Photos will be uploaded shortly.

As I mentioned this has been a crazy few weeks filled with activities, sports and parties. I love that in the middle of chaos I was able to put on a new top that I was dying to show off, apply some makeup and wear my jewelry and absolutely enjoy two hours of precious girl time. Thank you Jen for a great lunch and thank you girlfriends for great conversation!

I promise to add recipes, photos and favorite summer menus as the weeks go by.
