Lunch was destined to be made up of finger food. Why?
1. I’m dirtying up way too many dishes in preparation of my brother-in-law’s birthday dessert (read: I’m lazy).
2. All of my clean silverware is in the dishwasher. After this morning’s incident, I’m letting Ross unload the dishwasher (it’s ok, I unloaded it last time, it’s his turn anyway.) 
So I made a dipper plate of broccoli, blue corn tortilla chips, a salsa/ corn/ avocado mixture (so good!!), and a dollop of hummus.
Although I suppose I should call it “Hommus” since it was Cedar’s brand (Sabra’s lovers don’t hate, but lately I’ve been liking Cedar’s more!)
Since I’ve been working my bum off in the kitchen all day (yes I’ve been paranoid about roaches the whole time) I thought I’d share some pictures of some of the components of the surprise birthday dessert.
Mmm, isn’t that swirl just luscious?? I’m nervous about this dessert and really hope it comes out ok. I know it’s going to be ridiculously rich, and I’m sure it’s going to be tasty, but there’s a certain “label” on this dessert that I’m not going to share with the family until after everyone’s tasted it. *crosses fingers*
Now for some kitchen cleaning, yoga, and Orlando weekend prep!
I'm guessing… vegan
haha yup. I just didn't want to specifically say "vegan" in case anyone happens to read it before tomorrow. I know occasionally my BIL or SIL will stop by the blog, but obviously not recently since none of them knew I was trying out veganism until my husband let them all know.
Hooooly dessert goodness!! I'm sure it'll be a hit
That kind of lunch is the best!! Your dessert is going to be awesome no matter what label is attached
Finger Foods are my favorite! And your surprise dessert is looking yummy!
OOh that looks yummy. I once fed my friends a vegan meal and didn't tell them. They loved it, until I told them and they said I knew all along! Uh Yeah right!
your roach story made me laugh. I hate bugs. they all should die. painfully.
Oh my goodness, I don't know what I'd have done with the roach in the dishwasher. I think I'd have had to wash TWICE!
Your dessert looks lovely. Can't wait to hear what the surprise ingredient is…
Have fun in Orlando.
Hello! I just discovered your blog, and am SO glad I did! I can't wait to read your future posts:)
