Philly Cooking Creme - House Party

This weekend I hosted a Cooking Dilemma Philly Cooking Creme House Party. If you've never heard of House Party, you should take a few minutes to visit their website (http://www.houseparty.com/) for more details about parties that you can apply for. They have some really awesome new products that they'll send you for you and your friends and family to try!

This is my second House Party. The first was in November when I hosted a Making Seasons Brighter Shutterfly House Party. It was a lot of fun! This time Philly Cooking Creme sponsored the show. We were able to try all four flavors of the Cooking Creme. The recipes were great and I'll include them below! It was nice to also have a party that they guys could (and wanted) to be a part of. The party favors were really generous and I'm grateful to Philadelphia Cream Cheese for being a big party of Saturday evening!!!

I'll post some pictures of the cuter moments of the evening, followed by the recipes we chose for Saturday's dinner.
