Lauren and I decided to make a nice meal for ourselves and have a nice evening at home. I have to admit it was kind of nice to just relax at home and enjoy the evening. Asleep by 12:05am! JK.
Normally I wouldn't post our food pics, but my brother is such a good baker and he wanted to see what we were making for dinner...
We planned a multiple course meal starting with some wine. We probably should have opened a white, but this was a good red.
Lauren prepped a side salad for us to start our meal. Did I mention that all this started at around 6pm while we simultaneously fed the kids and put them to bed??
Bruschetta with goat cheese and sun dried tomato pesto and stuffed mushroom caps with cream cheese herbs and scallions.
New England Clam chowder and coconut shrimp with a sweet and sour orange marmalade dipping sauce.
Bacon wrapped seared sea scallops with a orange-balsamic vinegar glaze and orange zest and to finish it off we had snow crab clusters with a garlic butter dipping sauce**...
Finally, we finished our feast with Lauren's home made Lava cake. Unfortunately I only took a photo of this with my phone so I will post later...
**Ok, I will admit that we were actually quite full after the scallops and opted to make the crab cluster the next day! But they were still delicious...
