I started it off by accepting {another} mother of the year award....
seriously.
I know you are wondering how in the heck does this girl
named kasey ..receive so many awards....
it's crazy how many of them i have now.
The reason i received one this last saturday is because
i stood outside of
Walmart
for an hour and a half
helping Lola sell girl scout cookies.
as we sold out of cookies.
It would be a lie if i said her mutilated face didn't help
her sell out.
I heard a lot of....
oh you poor sweet girl.....
let me buy 8 boxes from you....
oh honey.....
i'll take 4 boxes.....
oh...
and that shirt from Old Navy helped a bit.
After our stand up proud outside of walmart afternoon....
we headed to the ice arena.
I signed them both up for ice skating lessons.
Fin rocked the house.
Lola....not so much.
I think she was still recovering from her
fall from last week...
so she was very unstable on the ice.
Next week will be better.
just have a few girls over....
to do what we do best...
and that's drink wine and eat pretty food.
I made prosciutto wrapped asparagus.
It's perfection and so easy to make for a simple appi.
All you need is asparagus, thinly sliced prosciutto, and a spreadable cheese.
I use the garlic and herb Rondele.
You spread a thin layer of rondele on the prosciutto....
then wrap it around your clean cut asparagus tip....
and broil for 3-5 minutes till the cheese is bubbly and the prosciutto has
a slight crisp to it.
done.
easy.
delicious.

Cute face Lola!
I'm happy because you eat prosciutto.
So fun....and another recipe from K that I will be trying very soon....delish!
xoxoxo
I'd have been all over those cookies....with a face like that I can see why she sold out! So sweet!
And the asparagus? YUM! It is one of the 1st veggies out at the farm markets around here....we have THE best asparagus around!
That looks so yummy! Thanks for the recipe and nice food photography.
Asparagus and herbed cheese - salivating!
Well you do receive Mother of the year award from me... see I have a Brownie and a Daisy and well... I did not sign up to help with cookie sales at all. As a matter of fact, I realllly dislike GS cookies, they received their badge so hey I did something right? On another note, I used to take ice skating lessons for about 3 years... oh I loved it, it was so much fun. I hope your week is off to a amazing start.
Smiles,
Sheila
Sounds like a great weekend all around. Wish I was there on your couch drinking wine and eating those yummy appetizers with you and your friends...too fun!
Happy Monday.
That appetizer looks fabulous! what a fun girl evening....your kids are adorable....I definitely would have bought cookies from your daughter...love girl scout cookies!
Love the Tshirt...even though I'm thirty five I could officially wear that - once I open the box, there's just no stopping!
That Lola looks so cute in that shirt selling girl scout cookies...they all are just adorable...and yes you should get lots of Mommy awards!!! Sounds like a great red carpet party:)
Many people is going to Paris...please take me with youuuu...

Good heavens...that prosciutto wrapped asparagus is calling my name.
Oh yay for ice skating lessons! As a former figure skater and then coach, I'm always elated to see when kids are taking skating lessons. Hope they love it!
Way to go Lola! Oh....and Mother of the Year!! I wish I could have been at your red carpet party. Where did the kids go during this event. Mine would have been right there with me eating all the food I prepared.
Poor baby...If I lived by I think I would buy you out of thin mints. Not only is Lola adorable ..boo boo and all but I'm a HOG when it comes to those stupid cookies. We like to stick them in the freezer and eat them cold~ Yum!
You EARNED that award if you had to stand outside of WALMART!!
lol.
Your party looks fun....and the asparagus-wrapped-in-procuitto----YUM. Oh, and congrats on the MOTY award. That rocks. :)
Cute t-shirt! When I was little, they made my mama be mint mother when she missed a Bluebird meeting. I think you two could compare notes! : )
: )

Tempting us again with your yummy food...of course I'll have to try making them.
Congrats to you and Lola - not bad for an hour and a half!
Bonjour Kasey,
Lola is such a cutie, and you do deserve mom of the year for helping her out. All the party food looks delicious.
Another 4 weeks and you'll nibbly on some real French macarons - I'll try to save you some - I have been known to clear the patisserie shelves...seriously you are going to have the best time and the weather is getting so nice!
Really like your banner.
Your going to Paris?? wow I am jealous!! take lots and lots of pictures!

btw; parisienne farmgirl is selling macrons now...from scratch.....
Your asparagus wraps are my family's favorite! delicious!!!

Yummy, yummy idea for a quick appetizer! Thanks for sharing.
Lola looks too cute there. I guess the banged up face really helped with the selling, good trick, Kasey!
I would have definitely bought the cookies too, sweet girl. Oh, and the party looks yummy, I mean fun.
hey, I just bought one of those boxes of thin mints yesterday...
the french wine and cookies sound like a perfect evening...
Hey Kasey,
as a former caterer and event planner, you are on the money with the asparagus, next time for a twist, do half as much meat and use the yummy cambazola cheese thats also spreadable it is fantastic it adds a punch to the so salty prociutto....sounds like a fun evening, I enjoy your blog and read often. Tracey
Lola knows how to work the crowd ;) you are a great mom - walmart can get ya down after awhile.
And, those asparagus thingys look totally awesome. one to keep in mind!
So great seeing you this morning!!
i need to find that girl scout cookie t-shirt online!
i think you should post a pic of you with your awards, you know, sorta oscar style!
i love that lola in her thin mints shirt
asparagus appetizer is my girls fave too!
& ps....all your friends are so cute
sheesh
This is an adorable post. I'm overdue for some much-needed girlfriend time myself.
Sounds like you had a fun weekend, and I bet you're right; who could resist buying cookies from that cute little munchkin - especially with her war wound!
B x
p.s loving that appi - asparagus is my favourite veg :O)
I wish I could have come to the party:( Looks like fun.
Oh Paris! Fun fun!
New to your blog - i love it! I wish that I had a trader joes - those macroons look fabulous :)
The things we do for our kids! I think my latest Mother of the Year Award just might have outdone you this time.lol You can view all the sordid details here http://prettygumbo.typepad.com/pretty-gumbo/2010/03/green-eggs.html. Make sure you scroll to the bottom for the kicker :)
My little scout sold cookies twice... amazing how even though those cookies are outrageously priced... they sell them selves!! and who can resist the cute little scout smiles!!! Your food tutorial looks heavenly... I think I would be eating alone in my house though!! ha ha!
Just Jenn~
I will definitely be trying this out. My father in law grows asparagus and last summer we ran out of ways to dish it out. Thanks for sharing.
I was wondering how the trader joes Macaroons are? They look tasty! I was in Paris for the first time in Oct '09. I left my heart there! You must go to Laduree! Its the Tiffanys of macaroons and Miss Manon for some yummy eclairs.
PS: Lovely blog! Loving the inspiration
