Friday, I took a vacation day so that I could begin cooking. I made 4 different types of cupcakes for a total of 96 cupcakes: red velvet with cream cheese icing, strawberry with strawberry icing, confetti cake with white icing, and yellow cake with chocolate icing. They were so tasty that we only made it to the party with 91 cupcakes. HA!
Everyone gathered and ready to surprise Momma.
Mom was so surprised and of course she was crying.
One of the most exciting aspects of this party is that mom's favorite niece made the trip from Texas to surprise her.
Some of the other food I prepared for the party included 2 types of chicken legs, 2 types of meatloaf, the best mac and cheese ever, and baked beans.
We also had hot dogs for the kiddos (and a few adults that act like kiddos, LOL).
I also made ranch potato salad, coleslaw, 7 layer salad, and deviled eggs. Here are a few of the recipes (I don't really measure so you will have to guess too):
Coleslaw:
- bagged coleslaw
- red wine vinegar
- sugar
- mayo
- salt and pepper
- purple onion
- mix all ingredients and serve cold
Ranch Potato Salad:
- Red potatoes diced and cooked
- Green Onion
- mayo
- ranch dry packet
- cooked bacon
- cheddar cheese
- mix all ingredients and serve cold
7 layer salad:
- lettuce
- spinach leaves
- green onion
- boiled eggs
- cooked bacon (lots of it)
- cheddar cheese
- tomato
- dressing (mayo and sour cream mixed with a little dill) make enough you can have a thick layer over the salad
- salt and pepper between layers
- layer in the order you prefer (my order is usually: lettuce, spinach, boiled eggs, salt and pepper, tomato, dressing, cheese, bacon, green onion)
Baked Beans:
- Hot Sausage cooked
- original Bush's baked beans
- Cavendar's (more than you can even imagine)
- ketchup
- mustard
Hope you guys can enjoy a few of these items. Happy Birthday MOM!!
