This week I celebrated my birthday as well as my husband’s. Because it was my first week back at work and our birthdays fell on a school night, we both decided to celebrate it this past week-end. So we had a small party on Saturday.. and of course I cooked. I wanted my food to be light so I decided to offer lots of vegetables and meats:

• Tomato caprese in martini glasses
• Brie cups with red pepper jelly
• Quiche Lorraine
• Pork tenderloin with mango, soy marinade served with bread, regular side dressings,  and mango chutney
• Chicken teriyaki kebabs
• Ginger and Mint Marinated Shrimps
• Texas Caviar with various tortillas
• Lobster cream cheeese mousse with flatbread
• Summer berry tartlets
• Chocolate cupcake with chocolate buttercream
• White chocolate panna cotta

I think my guests really enjoy their food because there were hardly any left-overs. That must be a good sign;-)
