Yay for a long weekend! Thanks to that, we had some omni friends over on Sunday. This is a really good group of friends who are always interested in our food, so we gave them a good amount of exposure.
Here's the appetizer table: Potato Spinach Wedges (tester for Crack of Noon), Margherita Teese Pizza (of course!), Edamame Dip, this amazing Artichoke Dip and these delicious meatballs made from Gimme Lean. Nobody liked the edamame dip as much as I did, but everything else got rave reviews. That artichoke dip is made with cashews! If you've read this blog before, you know I'm not a nut lover. But this was the best artichoke dip I've ever had, vegan or not! One of the guests said that they probably wouldn't have known the meatballs weren't actually meat. Keep that in mind if you like (or need) omni-friendly food. We loved them, too. The Potato Spinach Wedges are actually intended for brunch, but they went over big as an appetizer. Since they are so hard to see in that picture, here they are in all their glory.
For dinner, we had Portobello Burgers with that Chipotle Sandwich Sauce from Yellow Rose
Recipes. It's the first time I've made it, and yum! We also had cole slaw, those cold Szechuan Noodles from a previous post and this Mediterranean Orzo Salad (Robin Robertson). Dessert was the low fat chocolate bundt cake from V'con. That cake is always such a winner.
Since we ate so much over the weekend, we had an omelet for lunch. This is a tester for Crack of Noon and is technically #2. This is an awesome recipe! We filled them with peppers, onions and mushrooms (because that is literally all I had) and a little bit of Teese. I'm kind of thinking of them as appetizers because I'm about to go downstairs and gorge myself on cookies.

so much delicious-sounding food! And I've been eyeing that artichoke dip recipe, too, I'm glad you say it's so good. (ps. I CANNOT wait for this brunch book!)
I'm trying to come up with another excuse to make that dip already. It's that good. I hope you like it as much as we did if you make it.
I know- this brunch book is going to be amazing!
Wow, that's a whole lot of amazing food. Did you friends die and go to heaven?
I think we're all waiting for the brunch book to be done. Lucky you getting to try them out!
Erin, I know. I'm so lucky to be a tester. Everything I have tried has been delicious!
And thanks for the party food compliment. It's always fun to surprise omni guests.
