TacOberfest 2009

TacoOberfest was a BIG hit, and a ton of fun!

The Host and Hostess

My brother came over and helped me cook in the kitchen, I was running around like a mad women :).

We had a beautiful Taco Bar which is the easiest way to have a dinner party! 

Toppings; lettuce tomatoes, and grilled peppers.

Meat 

Black Beans and Salsa 

Soft Taco’s(inside the bin) and hard Gluten Free Taco Shells. 

I grilled up some Halibut for us non-red meat eaters. 

Sam Adam’s Octoberfest! 

Apple Cider with cinnamon and oranges. 

And Baby Moses, who I think needs to be in commercials!!! Cutest baby ever! 

Friends loading up at the bar. 

I loaded up on my baby holding time :) 

I made one amazing TACO, fish+veggies+avocado+salsa! 

And Yes I had a cold one, only comes out once a year!

After we all stuffed our faces we played some Wii Sport….bowling first 

I WON! 

then on to Tennis! 

Then the band came and rocked out…well Rock Band that is! 

I have never laughed so much in my life!

 

The Girl Band.

 

Time for dessert. I decided to make super easy Pumpkin and Chocolate Chip Muffins. 1 box of yellow cake mix+1/2 cup water+ 1 bag of mini chocolate chips, in the over at 350 for 17-20 minutes!

A HUGE hit! 

Plus Chocolate Banana Pumpkin Bread, which I almost didn’t get a picture of because it went soooo fast! 

 

Our TACOBERFEST went until after midnight and I could have stayed up longer!!

I love having people over, it seriously made my whole week. I know for some people throwing parties is such a hassle, but if you keep it casual and don’t worry about the details it is so worth it in the end!

Slept in late this morning 🙂 Time to hit the gym, I have my long 15 mile run tomorrow so I will be just doing some weights and lot’s of stretching today. We also have a HALLOWEEN HAT PARTY, I need to find a crazy hat!!!

Any ideas???

Have a BEAUTIFUL SATURDAY!
