Love Celebration!

The past couple of weeks had been rather stressful around our house. So, with our 10 month celebration last week, I decided to do something a little special for my husband. So when he walked through the door after work, I ushered him off to relax with our electric foot massage and heated neck pillow. I'd been cooking the evening away getting everything ready. Our dining table was decked out with photos and memorabilia from our wedding and engagement...and of course a little candle light to set the mood...

Just a little something extra to make our night romantic and a nice change of pace from ordinary. It is so easy to get caught up making the quickest meals and eat in front of our TV. So it meant a lot to me for a sit down dinner!

The infamous Penne Pesto. I could eat this every day.

Homemade Bruchetta...enjoy the recipe!

• 2 tomatoes, diced
• 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar
• 1 -2 tablespoons of olive oil
• pinch of Italian herb seasoning
  
• pinch of basil seasoning
• Sea Salt (to taste)
• Whole Wheat Bread, cut into small squares (be sure to cut off the crust)
• Mozzarella Cheese, shredded

Combine the first six ingredients, then chill. Bake bread squares at 350 for 3-5 minutes or until toasted. Top each square with tomato mixture and top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake another 3-5 minutes or until cheese has melted.

We topped off the evening with Chocolate Covered Strawberries and Murder She Wrote (yeah we love it...).
