we're going to a progressive dinner tonight. about 20 people, all at one house for apps then another for soup a 3rd for dinner & one more house for dessert. i've been scoring the "for designers that like to eat" thread for a casserole.

i'm taking a whole box of candles & putting them on every dessert when no one is looking i'll get a pic if i pull it off.

That sounds like so much fun! Can't wait to see the pics :D


That was very sweet of your Mom to keep your birthday special ... not so easy to do this time of year :)

Sweet! I wish I could do something like that. :D

Happy birthday, Gary! I hope you have fun, and EAT LOTS!

ok i choose this to have my wife cook & take with us


Chicken Noodle Roll-Ups
Makes 9 servings (each rollup = 1 serving)

Ingredients:
9 uncooked lasagna noodles (about 9 ounces)
8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into chunks
2 cups finely chopped broccoli
2 cups 1% lowfat cottage cheese
1 egg
Nonstick cooking spray
2 teaspoons snipped fresh chives
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tablespoon reduced-fat margarine
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup 1/3-less-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup fat free (skim) milk
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped

1. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions, omitting salt. Drain and rinse well under cold water. Place in a single layer on a sheet of aluminum foil.

2. Preheat over to 375 degrees. Place chicken in food processor or blender and process until finely chopped. Spray large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium heat. Add chicken; cook 4 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Stir in broccoli; cook until broccoli is crisp-tender (about 3 minutes). Cool.

3. Combine cottage cheese, egg, chives, nutmeg, and black pepper. Stir in chicken mixture. Spread a generous 1/3 cup filling over each lasagna noodle. Roll up noodles starting at short end. Place filled rolls, seam side down, in a 10 x 8 inch baking dish; set aside.

4. Melt margarine in a small saucepan. Stir in flour; cook 1 minute. Whisk in chicken broth, milk and mustard. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Pour sauce over filled rolls, sprinkle with tomato. Cover dish with foil. Bake 30 - 35 minutes or until filling is set. (Note: I usually make twice as much sauce because it keeps the rollups moist and gives them more flavor.)


i'll let everyone know how it turns out.

Happy Birthday! I've never heard of a progressive dinner like that. Sounds fun. Where the houses all within walking distance or were they driving distance away?

[garricks]

That's awesome, Gary!

[tuliptree]

What an awesome birthday! Look at all of those deserts!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GARY!!! I'd say hope you had fun, but it sure looks and sounds like you did! :)

Happy Birthday! I've never heard of a progressive dinner like that. Sounds fun. Where the houses all within walking distance or were they driving distance away?

the homes were not in walking distance but all within about 5 miles. we piled up as many people in a car as we could as to not flood the neighborhoods with cars. we ended up with about 30 people. i didn't take my camera but several people did i'm sure they will be e-mailing them around i'll post some as i get them.

Happy belated birthday, Gary! Looks like the party was a success. I spy some birthday pies in that picture too! :)

[vtwin_gary]

the party was actually a Christmas party & had nothing to do with my birthday, so when we got to the dessert house i broke out a box of candles & put one on each & lit them up.
