We hope everyone had a safe and happy new year. We had a very special "eve" party at Crest Avenue with a small group which included our dear friend Bev and Bob and Bette. We served apple martinis and many trays of delectable foodstuff to include these luscious key lime tarts.
I cannot tell you how delicious these were. This was the first time I made them and I would definitely make them again.
Then there was the shrimp dip.
This is delicious. I have made it many times over the years. It is very simple to make and includes a can of Campbell's Cream of Shrimp soup, cream cheese and celery and a few other ingredients which I will share with you.
For dinner we had lasagne;
and a real Caesar salad, which was assembled just before we sat down to eat.
The lasagne was a very simple recipe with ground beef in a tomato sauce which you make yourself. I used low-fat Ricotta cheese in-between the meat sauce layers. It was very good but I will make notes along the pages in the cookbook I used for this to add an additional container of ricotta cheese and to double the meat sauce. The seasonings were perfect, so I do not want to change that. But the amount of Ricotta and meat sauce it called for were a little "skimpy" for my taste. All things considered, it was a marvelous meal and a fun time with good friends.
