Delicious dinner tonight with the BFFs! 🙂
The Menu:
Appetizers:
Hummus and Crackers
Goat Cheese and Beet Mixed Green Salads
Entrees:
Balsamic Chicken with Mushrooms and Tomatoes
(based on this recipe, except I used mushrooms instead of spinach (wanted to do them separately) and nixed the couscous. To simplify the recipe, I cooked the chicken first in a large, deep pan with the olive oil and garlic and then threw all the rest of the ingredients in with it for a few extra minutes!)
Sautéed Spinach with Garlic
(Just TONS of fresh spinach sautéed in a pan with olive oil and lots of garlic)
Dessert:
Chocolate Wafer Cookies
(This was supposed to be baked pears but we were too full!)
Wine Pairing:
Sarah’s Patio Red (from Chrysalis, my fave Virginia winery!)
Yay! We had fun getting everything ready 🙂 It’s way more fun cooking when I have such hot assistants 😉
Yum!
We had such a fun day! We had brunch in Georgetown at one of my favorite places in the city, Peacock Cafe, and then spent the rest of the afternoon walking around and doing a little shopping 😉
Now it’s time to relax! We have a big day planned tomorrow involving running, more brunch, and some art museum action. And then a hot Valentine’s Day dinner, obviously 😉
Have a great night!
