FoodBuzz 24x24 A Tribute To My Father-in-Law

I can not begin to tell you all how excited I was when Foodbuzz contacted stating that I was one of the 24 bloggers picked to host in the month of March. Once I got the news I started making lists of everything I wanted to make. As the days passed the list of dishes became longer and longer, and I think at one point I had over 30 recipes that I wanted to make.

My theme was a tribute to my father in law. He is one of most amazing, strong, brave, and caring people I have ever met. About a month ago he informed us that he was sick and needed to undergo some surgery, but before he did, he asked that I make him some real traditional Portuguese food. I was honored by my father in law request, and wanted to make sure that I made him the best Portuguese feast possible. We had my in laws over along with some of my husband's other family members and the night was a huge success. Everyone had a wonderful time and enjoyed the food.

I made so many wonderful dishes, and thought I would share few pictures of the many dishes we had. Over the next few weeks I'll be posting all the recipes. I had a great time doing this and I hope that anyone reading this that has ever consider hosting a 24x24 does it! Because it was a great time.
