Mother's Day meal!



For our Mothers day we made out Mom a special dinner made up of most of her favorite things!


This picture was of the main course, it is garlic chicken with a swiss chard mushroom cream sauce on top, served along side a bed of al dente green beans topped with crispy garlic and fresh shredded Parmesan cheese. For extra color we added a few sliced heirloom tomatoes and a sprig of oregano....






also Cesar salad with homemade croutons, with extra garlic on the dressing they way she likes it.....





















...this was the hot appetizer, we took our homemade fresh mozzarella breaded and pan fried and served it with homemade french bread and some chopped tomatoes from the bruchetta below.























This was a slightly cool/warm appetizer called bruchetta, it was really amazing. For this dish we splurged and bought heirloom tomatoes, it really made the dish. The ingredients are tomatoes, fresh garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.....give it a try you will be amazed how such a simple dish could taste so amazing!



For dessert we made a rhubarb pie, served with real strawberry ice cream, we did take a picture its just not downloaded off our camera yet....will post soon!
