Shoosh! Dinner at the chalet!

Fondue + skiing = Swiss Chalet!

We journeyed from the tropics to the Alps for this week's dinner. To set the mood, we let it start snowing outside...



... and Erik built us a fireplace!



We hung our ski clothes up to "dry" and we were ready for dinner!

We started with 2 different cheese fondues - 3 Cheese (made with Swiss, Gruyere and Havarti) and Cheddar Beer. Served with sourdough bread, apples and nacho chips - mmmm.

The main course was steak and chicken. Unlike old-style fondue, we cooked the meat in hot broth. Works just as well, but much better for you. With the main course, it is all about the sauces - teriyaki, barbeque, sweet and sour, honey mustard, spicy buffalo and herbed ranch.

And what would a fondue dinner be without dessert?! We had both a decadent dark chocolate fondue and a creamy white chocolate fondue, with strawberries, apples, bananas, shortbread cookies and marshmallows. A great way to finish the evening!
