It was nice to go out as a family, too.<\/p>\n<p>Also over the weekend, it was my cousin Anna&#8217;s bridal shower. Her friend Shawna planned a super fun and unique shower for her&#8211;a cooking lesson! Her friend Bernadette, who has been a chef in many Portland restaurants and now does some catering on her own, taught a cooking lesson for the shower and it was so much fun!<\/p>\n<p>We were all instructed to bring our favorite recipe for Anna and $10 in one dollar bills&#8230;hmmm&#8230;what could that be for?? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>Turned out there were a few rules for the party. You couldn&#8217;t mention the honeymoon, their new house or the fiance by name and if you did you had to put $1 in a jar as a tax. It was a funny idea. The money in the jar was going towards the purchase of a Kitchenaid Mixer for the happy couple. I love that idea!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-51131\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_7899-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"img_7899\" width=\"695\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_7899-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_7899-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_7899-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There were some snacks out while we mingled.
