About Us
- ThursdayGirlsNights
- Seattle/Tacoma area, Washington, United States
- Thank you for visiting! We are Amanda, Tiffany, Lauren H, Lauren F, Danielle, Lisa, Meagan, Teresa, Emily, Cassie, & Bea. We are a group of women ranging in age from 27-32. 2011 marks the 5th Fall season of us getting together weekly, on Thursdays, to make dinner for eachother, talk about our kids, marriages, jobs, weddings, homes, weekends and so on. We travel as far North as Kirkland and as far South as Graham to visit each week...that's a total of nearly an hour of driving (not counting traffic), so that should show you how dedicated we are to "the cause" of having some girl time each week. A few of us are mothers and have planned our weddings. Our group also includes a dietitian, wine distributor & a few teachers ranging from elementary to high school. We are here to share our favorite recipes, update you on our girl talk each week, answer questions from experience and review products for companies and share our takes on them for the women out there just like us. Please feel free to contact us with topics you'd like us to cover or questions you may have. Our group e-mail is ThursdayGirlsNights@gmail.com Thanks again, The Girls

Tiff & Austin's Engagement Photos
Since Emily mentioned it, I think it's time to post some pictures! Tiff and Austin are busy planning a beautiful beach wedding but that doesn't mean they didn't have time to get in front of the camera at Redondo Beach in Federal Way. Don't let the glimpses of sunshine fool you, it was chilly out! Luckily that didn't stop the couple from smiling, playing in the sand and kissing on the dock. Afterward we warmed up with some beers and clam chowder at Salty's. Congrats again Tiff & Austin!

Welcome 2011!!!
After a busy holiday season we regrouped January 6th at my house. We had so much to catch up on....Christmas, New Years, Bea's birthday, and TIFF'S ENGAGEMENT! Congratulations Tiffany and Austin! Let the wedding planning begin! And that it did. We spent most of the evening discussing a beach wedding in Cabo San Lucas-woohoo! (I'll let Tiff post all the details as they become available)
We missed Amanda, Lisa, Jessica, and Meagan this week. Unfortunately, a few of us came down with a nasty winter flu.
Dinner this evening was chicken enchiladas with salad, chips and guacamole, and brownie bites for dessert. Here's the recipe:
Chicken enchiladas
Bake 6 chicken breasts, shred chicken after it cools
In the food processor mix chicken, mexican cheese, and green chilies (eyeball cheese and chilies)
Roll chicken mixture inside flour tortillas, cover with red enchilada sauce and more cheese
Bake for 30-45 minutes until hot

6th Annual Girls' Night Cocktail Party!
Yup, that's right; this is the 6th year we have planned one hell of a Christmas cocktail party! The tradition started when Lauren and Tiff lived together at an apartment in Milton. The following year I moved in and since it was so much fun we decided to do it again. It helped that I was selling wine and had lots of samples! From there the tradition just kept on going. The 3rd year was at Lauren's, the 4th year at Meg's, the 5th year at my house and finally this year Lauren hosted us again! There is always yummy food, lots of drinks and some sort of "game" involving alcohol consumption. I know we are growing up but I swear some of us are just now getting our beer pong game down! Here are a few pictures from the party. Enjoy ~ Danielle

Holiday Gift Exchange
Ok, getting caught up here...
Thursday, Dec 16th we got together for our gift exchange. Since it's kind of a special celebration we go out to dinner. Luckily this year, the snow had melted and the roads were clear (we weren't so lucky last year), so we met in Tukwila at Grazie http://www.grazierestaurant.com/ It's a super cute, hole-in-the-wall Italian restaurant with amazing food! We got a few bottles of wine, talked about the upcoming holidays and exchanged gifts & Christmas cards. This is the 2nd year we've used an online secret-santa system. http://www.secretsanta.com/ is like an evite...as soon as everyone has RSVP'd, it sends out an email with the name of the person you are to buy for. One great thing about it is that you can post a "wish list", another is that it keeps track of the people who's name you had been given in the past, so as you don't have a repeat person to buy for in the future.
More posts to come, plus a few pictures from our 6th annual Girl's Night Cocktail Party, so stay tuned...
