We are just a bunch of girlfriends trying to be domestic. Welcome to our monthly dinner club. We try out new things, teach new techniques and have a good time. Each month we draw a theme and pick recipes around it. It's all about a good time, good stories and good food! Enjoy!

November Dinner Club- Paula Deen!!!
November dinner club was a huge success! We all conquered a recipe by our very own favorite, Paula Deen!! We even tried to channel our own Paula and decorate like we knew she would...
Chelsea even brought a sparkling bubbly called Just Peachy in honor of Mrs. Paula's home state of Georgia. It was mighty tasty!
The highlight of the night y'all (Paula style) was Lizzy never ceasing to impress by getting us a bonafide, signed picture addressed to our dinner club from the one and only Paula Deen herself!!! "Best Dishes and love to the DeFuniak Springs Dinner Club!" Squeeeeeeeaaaaaaallllllll!!!
How cool is that y'all!!?
Here's a little looksy at our menu (which was a huge hit and pretty phenomenal- thanks Paula!)
So here goes.... First off for our appetizer Lora made the Fisher Nutty Bacon Cheeseball. To. Die. For!!! It was yummy folks!
Amanda and Chelsea made the Lady and Sons Chicken Pot Pie. (winner winner chicken dinner!) Someone, had never had a chicken pot pie before and her first experience was a glorious one!
We used smaller au gratin dishes and did mini pot pies. We also did fun cut out shapes for fall since we are in the heart of the season to be a little festive on our dishes.
Other Chelsea did Paula's Stewed Collared Greens. This one took the prize for the night. PHENOM!!!
Chels got the trophy for the month and bragging rights with Paula!
Lizzy tried to one-up herself after getting the signed picture of Paula and she did her Creamy Macaroni and Cheese. We actually put it in a bowl so it would look prettier. We're all about presentation you know.
Courtney had Paula's famous Sweet Tea. There are valuable things to learn from sweet tea y'all. Steep too long and it will be bitter, pour boiling water in a glass container and it might bust, and of course, you need to take the tea bags out of the water before you pour it in the pitcher because they just might bust... love you Courtney!
And last but definitely not least, Katelyn had the Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake. DELISH!!!
That's it for this time. Stay tuned in the first of December. We are taking on Christmas cookies and candy!
Best Dishes and Love y'all!!!
