My Mother's Day Dinner

I wanted to take a moment to brag about my dad and my husband. On Mother’s Day they took me out for brunch (along with little one, my mom, two of my grandmas, my grandpa, my aunt, two of my cousins and two of my cousin’s kiddos) at one of the hotels downtown. The food we very yummy and the mimosas were pretty darn good. Little one fell in love with the pasta salad and was a very happy camper. We spent the rest of the day relaxing and enjoying the company.

I had requested that if we didn’t go out for brunch that husband and dad whip us a five course meal for dinner. This was a joke. I would never expect them to do that. And even though they took me out for brunch I got a pretty amazing homecooked dinner too! Dad pulled out his trusty tapas cookbook and made a very delicious Salt Cod with Green Peppers and Potatoes Soup. It was so yummy. The broth was light and didn’t compete with the flavors of the other ingredients. Husband tried out Prawns in Garlic and Herbs. It was a heavenly little side dish to the soup. The olive oil that the shrimp was cooked in had such a lovely flavor that everyone around the table was sopping it up with their bread. Dinner was a smaller affair, just my parents, my grandma, little one, husband and me but oh it was wonderful.

It was such a treat to have my dad and my husband cook dinner. I love cooking for friends and family as it’s the way I show my love. So to have to very special people prepare a meal for me – I felt loved. Very very loved.
