  • 3 Year Anniversary

    Year after year we've been eating out at fancy restaurants. First year we went to Genoa, a 7 course, $80/person set menu dinner. Second year we went to Paley's Place, supposedly one of Portland's best French restaurants. This year, I decided to cook it up myself.

    I was inspired by our Valentine's Day Dinner at Three Doors Down. Audrey had a white fish wrapped crab, and we shared a seared scallop over a sweet puree. So, off I went to planning. I found a bunch of recipes online but none of them seemed right, so I used them more as guidelines.

    We started off with a simple salad (bagged), and some balsamic vinaigrette.


    Then we had seared scallops, which I wanted to pair with a butternut squash puree. The butternut squash didn't cook as fast as I wanted, and we got hungry:


    And the main course... Cod Wrapped Snow Crab with string beans and mushroom and sweet onion risotto.


    We even had some cool menus I designed:


    Great success!
