Supper Club - Fall {2}

 We made it a full year and it was really fun to meet again at the first couple's home for round two!
 Say Goodbye to Summer and Fall into Fall was the theme of this year's supper club and wowzer was the menu delicious {not to mention filling}!  A warning should definitely come with this one and it goes a little something like this; no matter how delicious the appetizers are {and there are three} don't do seconds, remember the small portions rule {it is so hard though when the food is so good}, and lastly, wear stretchy pants, you're regular ones aren't going to fit afterwards!

*One would think that my husband would just cooperate and take a picture with me by now, but no matter how much I beg {as seen in pictures below} it is work to get one to go up there with the couples pictures!  I think I kinda like our goofy ones better...but still, just cooperate!

Love them.

How The Supper Club works:
1. No kids.
2. The host comes up with the menu and then divides out the recipes to each of the supper club members to prepare for the party (we have four parties per year, each couple takes a season).
3. The host always provides the main dish/side dish with a variety of beverage selections.
4. Remember that it is sometimes best to semi-prepare your dishes and do last minute baking, chilling, slicing, or arranging at the home of the host.
5. Menu items should be new and adventurous.
6. Portion sizes must be small so that you have room to taste every course of the evening, so feel free to reduce recipes in half where ever you see fit.

The menu:

Salad

Main Course

Dessert
Hungry or full looking at the pictures?  My mouth happens to be watering!  Just like I say after each menu, the food was delicious!  

It was so filling and we had to take some serious breaks in between courses.  Never in our first year have we been so full, or had to break so much, but it was worth it!  On one of our many breaks we played a rematch game of cornhole {boys vs. girls}!  Last year the girls crushed the boys, however this year, we hung our heads in shame.
 But at least they were fun girls to hang my head in shame with!
Usually the game {or whatever sort of entertainment} is played after dinner, but because dinner was so long, we played in between courses!  While the boys did beat the girls, the Butler's were the winning couple this year!  Guess Chad and I better get to practicing before next fall!


If you missed out on the first year, or want to see what we eat last year, head to this post, where it will share a link to the other menus!

I like the organization of your supper club events. It looks like you and your friend had a fabulous time with great food.

I organized a supper club with our friends a few years ago and we've had a lot of fun with it over the years but it's gotten a little off track. Tonight's theme is Chinese and the hostess told us to either make something or bring takeout. Takeout? That kind of defeats the supper club purpose! It still will be a fun night.
