I make a dinner for my Homegroup about 3-4 times per year.  I’ve blogged about it before a couple of times.  It truly is one of my favorite things.  I choose a theme and menu and people come not knowing what they’ll be eating but I think I’ve earned their trust.  I love playing chef for a day!

My latest HG dinner theme was Color!  There is so much color in foods that I wanted to play with that.  I had to stop often and take photos of all that color.  I want you to know that I did not adjust these photos for color!

Rhubarb Cordial – I made some of this for my sister’s wedding and fell in love with the color!  I had to make more.  Add it to a bit of sparkling wine – YUM!

Curried Carrot Soup – this was a favorite for many.  I love it when people think they aren’t going to like something and then love it!  Favorite!

I had to have beets!

I used to hate beets.  Now, I daydream about them.  I know, weird.  But I’m serious.  You need to try this recipe – Beet and Caramelized Onions with Feta.

Purple cauliflower!  Had to try it!

I love the variation of color in leeks from top to bottom but also within the rings.

Lora set the table for me!  Thanks Lora!  We wanted it to be mostly white to make the color pop!  And I love the place cards –

Too much fun!
