Cafe Rio Dinner Night

On Saturday many of the husbands of the couples we live around left us early to head to the library. They stayed all day because they have a big test coming up on Monday. SOO Erin and I cooked dinner! We had NO CLUE what we were getting ourselves into when we said we would cook a Cafe Rio Dinner. Preparations started at 10 am and didn't end until 6:30! We made roast beef, chicken, and pork salads. We spent a lot of money, made a mess, dirtied a lot of dishes, had a lot of laughs, and filled a lot of empty tummies. We had enough to feed 10 families and then had some great left overs for Sunday dinner!!


I think my hubby liked it :)
