T & E Dinner 1

Our friends T and E are HUGE hockey fans, so we invited them to watch the NHL playoffs and for dinner.  Since we ate on the sofa during the game, I made very casual food.  Here's what we had:

Appetizers were store bought chips, homemade salsa and homemade guacamole

Dinner was marinated chicken breast sandwiches, Hawaiian macaroni potato salad and crunchy peanut slaw

Dessert consisted of peach and strawberry crumble with vanilla ice cream
