Girls Weekend {Cooking School}

You gotta love weekend get-aways, but you can't get it any better spending it with a girlfriend that you love and adore. Meet Marie, but most of you already know her ;). We have been friends since 1999 and we thought we deserved to break away from everyday life and spend some time together. We booked our weekend in Greenwood, MS where the Viking School is located. If you haven't done a cooking class or spa treatment, book your weekend NOW. It's tucked away in this small town on a street filled with Mississippi southern charm! There is not much else there, so a weekend is plenty!
We went to the "Casual Holiday Cocktail Buffet" class on Saturday night from 6-9.

The class max is 12 people. They split you in 2 groups with name tags and you get to know one another over wine, cheese, and fruit. You are placed in your stations where you have the entire kitchen to work with. It's laid back and care-free and so much fun. The ingredients are already measured and all you do is dump, stir, chop, bake, etc. You make one item at a time and the chef guides you on all the steps. Plus, you get the recipes and directions on how to make all the dishes. Well, let me just tell you what we cooked up!

tiny turkey burgers

smoked ahi tuna dip

beef tenderloin with gorgonzola on black pepper croutouns

mini chocolate peanut butter mousse pies with bruleed bananas

These were already made:

cranberry "ketchup"
