Dinner!

Most of you know I love to experiment in the kitchen. Here are a few of my latest!

Baked kale is one of my favorite veggies. I wash it, peel the leaves off the stalk and put them on a cookie sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with a little salt, pepper and garlic powder, and pop them in the oven at 350 for about 12 minutes. My fiance loves them and he used to hate kale! Here I paired it with penne ala vodka and chicken parm meatballs.

This is the chicken Caesar salad pizza from Rachael Ray, it was like gourmet pizza! 

Prepping the chicken Caesar salad pizza..it calls for escarole instead of lettuce since it has to go in the oven and lettuce would get too..wilty..is that a word? haha

Homemade salmon patties with mixed veggies

And last but not least..our first dinner at the new Seafood Shanty in Wyomissing! We thought it was great, loved the food and the service couldn't have been better. Check it out!

My 29th Birthday

Still can't believe I turned 29 on Saturday! It seems like just yesterday I was lamenting the fact that I wasn't 21 yet and now here I am. Where does the time go? My amazing boyfriend made the day so wonderful-I woke up to pink roses, the black Ugg Bailey Button Triplet boots I have been lusting over, and steak and lobster dinner reservations for later in the night. We went to Gregory's Steakhouse in Allentown, the surf and turf was great!  Feeling so blessed right now, I can't wait for our house to be finished!

 

Can you tell I love getting flowers?
