I had a dinner party this weekend, and it was so fun! I’ve forgotten how fun it is to have people over and to entertain… I see a few more of these events in my future!
Saturday was a super busy day. Not only was I hosting a three lovely ladies at my home, but I also had a hair appointment midday. Determined to squeeze everything in and create a fun evening, I prepped the meal on Friday night and simply had to put things in the oven before everyone arrived.
When you have a variety of people over, there’s always dietary preferences to consider. It may just be what people LIKE to eat, but being a picky eater myself, I really do my best to accommodate my friends. Thinking through what everyone liked, I decided to put together a maxi-meal. I mean, who doesn’t love mexican food??
I made my (soon-to-be) famous one-sheet chicken fajitas with all the toppings, a big salad with creamy tomatillo ranch dressing, and these fun desserts.

This ice cream dessert brought back all of my 10 year old memories of being at a Chi-Chi’s. Instead of being deep fried like the original, this recipe calls for you to simply roll the ice cream in crushed cereal and cinnamon. Drizzling with honey and chocolate syrup + topping with whipped cream and a cherry, the perfect fiesta dessert is born!
