Accidental Supper Club

Paleo Supper Club

Here's a cool idea you might want to try. A few close friends and I have formed a supper club of sorts. It didn't start out that way; it started with a potluck in early February. We had all been too busy to connect over the holidays, so we picked a date/time in the "off-season" when things had settled down. The plan was simple: meet at Sheryl's house and bring a paleo dish to share. We knew we would have fun relaxing and catching up, but we were surprised by the fabulous meal our potluck provided. No single person was burdened and everyone shared in the feast. We sat around Sheryl's big table, leisurely savoring our wholesome, quilt-free paleo supper and proclaiming, "what's so hard about paleo?!" We all agreed this was one of the best meals we had ever enjoyed, and before we retired for the evening, we made tentative plans for an encore. And so our accidental supper club was formed.

The encore potluck was last night at Erica's house. The beautiful spring weather provided for perfect al fresco dining, and once again, the meal did not disappoint. For starters, we shared a glass of wine and one of my skillet meatzas.  Jax brought a delicious main course of spicy pulled pork which was balanced perfectly by Erica's beautiful salad and Sheryl's roasted vegetables. Damon brought a nice bottle of wine. For dessert we shared a wholesome, grain-free, minimally sweetened apple crisp. (I'll share the recipe for the apple crisp soon in a future post.)

It was a wonderful spring evening with friends enjoying good food, wine, and conversation.  I'm looking forward to the next one.
