Las Vegas in Review

I went to the luxurious Canyon Ranch Spa at the Venetian.
It was HUGE.
Dinner at Lux Cafe.
Venetian grounds.
April showers!
K, my Aunt M and Aunt J who happened to be in Vegas and wasn’t I thrilled?!
Partying is hard work. (Handsome Jay and Aunt J)
Love her!
No, I don’t know why J’s tongue is SO red. It’s weird.
Really hard work.
But we make it look GOOD.
Venetian elevator…dressed to kill.
It’s 6:00 and I haven’t finished my makeup.
Happy 10th Anniversary!
Mmmm desserts…
Mmmm more desserts.
Party at the canal?
Oh J. Way to ruin a nice picture…actually the smoke in the casino beat him to it. (In case you were wondering)

Farfalle with Peas and Goat Cheese and Barbecued Balsamic Beets

I realize that not everyone likes beets. [My mom loves them.] In my effort to incorporate more vegetables into our diets, I picked up some fresh beets from a local farmers’ market.

Farfalle with Peas and Goat Cheese

(sorry for the iPhone picture)

Recipe is here.

J had to do the shopping, and he doesn’t typically do this, so some of the ingredients were off, but it was still delicious. There were just a few things he didn’t know where to find (or didn’t know what they were). Instead of chives, we had scallions. Instead of white wine, we had dry sherry. Instead of walnuts, we had pine nuts oops J ate those while I was cooking so we had no nuts. 🙂

Balsamic Beets
Cut peeled beets into pieces, place in medium bowl with balsamic vinegar, dried basil, crushed garlic (a lot), dried oregano, and dried rosemary. Place in foil packets and grill on barbecue for 20-25 minutes.

In the Doghouse

Sorry it’s been a while…
I’m sure I’m in the doghouse with you for not posting.

(By the way, is this the cutest picture ever? Yeah, I thought so).

I’ve been very busy with getting back from Sacramento (pictures coming) then attending a Bridal Tea (more pictures) and finally, cheering on J as he won FIRST PLACE in Fontana Nationals for mountain biking! It was so exciting. So stay tuned…I have a lot to come.
