Since it was a special occasion, we had (a bit too much, on my part) champagne ;)
I knew I wanted the S&M salad (and so did Gracie, the moment I mentioned avocado), so we each got our own and decided to share the zucchini, local roma and heirloom tomato lasagna entree, as well.
I seriously have dreams about this salad.
Greens, avocado, hemp seeds, dulse, rosemary crackers and pumpkinseed lemon dressing.
It. Is. So. Good.
The lasagna was equally amazing- basil pistachio pesto, sun-dried tomato marinara and macadamia pumpkin seed ricotta, layered between strips of zucchini and fresh tomatoes.
The macadamia ricotta and basil pesto were the standouts of the dish for sure. I wanted a bowl of them to dig into with a spoon.
Though we were pushing fourth-trimester food babies after inhaling those dishes, obviously the two dessert queens could not resist something sweet. I chose my all-time favorite dessert: the raw mint chocolate sundae with chocolate, mint and mint chip ice creams, mint chocolate cookies, chocolate sauce and vanilla cream.
Remember how yesterday I mentioned the three foods I could live off of forever? I lied. I could live off of this dessert alone.
It was the best birthday non-cake I could have asked for, and a wonderful evening in general :) Thank you to everyone (especially Gracie) who made yesterday so special for me- it was definitely a birthday to remember!
