Ladies/chicks party

My friend Mary, hosted her third January chicks' party this past Jaqnuary and she asked me to put together a menu. This is what I came up with:
I call the salad the STAFF SALAD because it gets used by so many people at various 'staff luncheons' and it has just about everything/anything in it that you want. In Mary's salad I had greens with chopped carrots, celery, red onion, cranberries, eggs, avocado, toasted pecans, hearts of palm, feta and a Balsamic Vinaigrette.
We also had Marinated Tomatoes with fresh basil and mint; Buffalo Chicken Puffs, Honey Goat Cheese Dates, Korean beef salad in lettuce cups and Mini Caramel tarts and Mini Citrus tarts.


Honey Goat Cheese Dates




Buffalo Chicken Puffs




Two puffs that didn't make the cut because they split






Korean Salad- I was going to make Korean Tacos but gals always like 'light food' so I did the lettuce cups instead






Mini Citrus tarts and Mini Caramel Tarts

I just got an email from Mary and this is what she wrote:


Jeannie,

Just to let you know, the food got rave reviews. People were still talking about it today. The chicken balls and wraps were wonderful. The salads gobbled up. The desserts all eaten this time. I think they were great choices and a good combo.

Korean BBQ

'Hey Mickey, they liked it!'
We had a going away family party for one of our sons yesterday and for one of the first times, in many years, we had great weather!
I was surprised how many dishes I made were on the sweet side. I really picked and chose what to serve because I know this food can be adventurous but I stayed away from Kimchi and included some of our son's favorite side dishes.

On the bar I also served a Koran juice- SO DELICIOUS though the color reminded some of us of something else. But the taste was out of this world.
