Birthday pix!

I decided that to celebrate the 1st anniversary of my 29th birthday properly, that I wanted to have all my close peeps over. My lack of desire to cook anything turned into some appetizers, which then snowballed into a gourmet feast. Thanks to andrea, sonia, and marc for all their help, we were able to whip up some hors d'oeuvres in no time! I won't post the recipes in the usual fashion as I followed them pretty much to a tee. I just wanted to share the links and some pictures. Thanks to drea for the pix or I would have nothing to show for this momentous anniversary! Because let's face it, you can only celebrate your 1st anniversary once....

We made hummus (marc's special recipe - served with veggies), Asian Avocado Salsa (served with sesame rice crackers), Crostini with Roasted Garlic, Goat Cheese and Apple Chutney, Golden Onion Thyme Dip (from an old appetizer magazine), and my sister Anna's spinach and artichoke dip. Sonia made awesome pumpkin cupcakes which were downed pretty quickly.
