BUNKO, BABY!

My friend Heather and I hosted Bunko Thursday night (yes, I was well enough to go!) and we had it at Heather's beautiful house. As I'm sure you can tell from the pictures below, we decided to have a Valentine's theme. Claire, you would have LOVED it! :) I didn't win anything, which wasn't a big surprise, but we still had tons of fun! I mentioned previously that my SAINT of a mother prepared the meal that I was in charge of (remember, I was SICK...I'm not lazy or anything) and it was D E L I C I O U S! We were short-handed one person for Bunko, so my mom actually came last minute and subbed! It was so fun for her to meet some of my "teacher friends" and she had a great time.

Allow me to share the fantastic recipe for "Light King Ranch Chicken" that we devoured that night. You will definitely want to jot this down because it is: a) EASY b) LOW FAT and c) YUMMY!
