Virtual Bridal Shower

You're Invited!
to my virtual bridal shower!

It's become a recent tradition to ask guest of your bridal shower to share a recipe or two. You are some of the most amazing cooks, bakers and drink makers that I know! So I am inviting you to share a recipe or two with me to include in my "bridal cookbook"

What: Share a recipe with me to include in my "bridal cookbook"
Where: You can leave the recipe in a comment, or you can email me at fashionmeetsfood[at]yahoo[dot]com . Pictures are always welcome :]

What's one thing most bridal showers have in common? They have prizes! For everyone who sends me a recipe via email or in a comment you'll be entered to win a fabulous prize!

So what's the prize?
Four bottles of Girard's Salad Dressing
this includes the three new flavors: apple poppyseed, peach mimosa, creamy balsamic
also a classic favorite: champagne


• You may leave me as many recipes as you wish. Each recipe will get you one entry.

• Share my virtual bridal shower on your blog, and for each person who leaves me a recipe saying they are from your blog, you will get you three extra entries.

NOTE! If you answered the salad question on facebook you get 5 extra entries if you supply a recipe!


Thanks so much for being apart of my bridal shower!

  2. Great idea! I can't wait to see all of the recipes. You are such a sneak with that FB question - it worked out well for the salad challenge and for this. Smart lady!

    I replied on FB and here is one recipe to start:

    Cajun Shrimp Stir Fry
    • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
    • 1 tbsp Cajun spice seasoning
    • 2 tsp canola oil, divided
    • 2 green peppers, seeded and cut into strips
    • 2 red peppers, seeded and cut into strips
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • ½ cup white wine
    • 1 tbsp lemon juice
    • Hot sauce to taste
    • 2 cups cooked brown rice

    Toss shrimp with Cajun spice seasoning and set aside. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet and and sauté peppers for six mintues over medium-high heat. Turn heat down and add minced garlic, stirring constantly so that garlic
    doesn’t burn. Remove peppers and garlic from pan, wipe pan out with paper towel.
    Return the pan to medium-high heat, add heat to remaining tsp of oil. Add shrimp and cook approximately 3
    minutes, stirring frequently. Add wine, lemon juice, peppers and garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Season with hot sauce; serve over cooked brown rice.

    This is taken from the clean eating magazine, so healthy and so delicious. Loads of flavor!

    Ingredients:
    1 lb of breakfast sausage
    1 oz block of cream cheese

    Directions: cook the breakfast sausage stovetop and crumble it up. If you have a slow cooker, dump everything into the slow cooker and cook on high for 30 -55 mins or until its hot and bubbly. serve with veggie sticks and crackers. its awesome!

  10. Love this idea.

    The one recipe that came to mind right away, we call in my family Pineapple Delight.

    It's a quick and delish no-bake pie that I take to alot of gatherings.

    I don't use exact measurements but it goes a bit something like this.

    Ingredients:
    1 graham cracker pie crust
    1 can of crushed pineapples, drained well
    1 large banana
    1 pudding mix (vanilla, banana or cheesecake flavor) prepared as directed on box for pie filling
    1 container of cool whip

    Directions:
    Layer in the crust from bottom up-
    banana slices
    drained pineapples
    pudding pie filling
    topped with cool whip

    Quick, easy and oh so delish. Aslo depending on your ingredients, can be made very low-cal, low-fat and low-sug.
