My Mom just left this weekend. We had a wonderful time while she was here. Last week we celebrated our 2nd anniversary. We all got dressed up and went to Anthony's restaurant for a 4-course meal. It's a beautiful restaurant, right by the bay. I had shrimp cocktail, clam chowder, salmon cakes and chocolate mousse. We also went to Olive Garden and had their shrimp risotto. Omgosh, it is sooo good! So.... this week I'm going to try my own version of salmon cakes and I can't believe it- Olive Garden posted their receipe for the shrimp risotto, so I'm making that as well. We are going camping Friday (two weekends in a row) so I will only post until Thursday. If I make anything interesting on our camping trip I'll be sure to post it.
Sunday we had 40 Cloves of Garlic Chicken. Once again it was super! I love Ina Garten's recipes. Well, I hope everyone has a great week!

Yum! Your rissoto (sp?) sounds so good. Blessings to you!
Sounds good, I am going to have to try to make the salmon cakes. We are going to try to eat more fish. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Thanks for sharing those recipes. They both sound delicious. Added to bookmarks :)
Thanks for stopping by. I lived in Kansas until the middle of my 8th grade year. We moved to Arlington, TX and there I stayed until I went to Baylor where I met my husband.
Anthonys and Olive Garden?! It doesn't get much better than that! I am just south of you a couple of hours in Kent---and I happen to have a son in college in Bellingham, and a daughter who is a graduate from good ole WWU! We love visiting our kids because we love the Bellingham area. Thanks for visiting my blog, and have a great time camping.
