Now I must share with you all some of the amazing food I've had lately! I may not be blogging as often as I'd like, but I still have my camera on me at all times :)
On Sunday, Brian and I were over visiting my mom after hitting up 4 open houses (p.s. looking for a house is getting me frustrated already...we just started!). The 3 of us went for an early dinner to a fantastic neighborhood Italian restaurant in Wayland, MA (a town over from my moms): Luigi's Italian Grille
I didn't know what I was in the mood for...but I wanted something kind of light and I wanted something with Tomato sauce!
This was shrimp, scallops, and mussels in a DELICIOUS tomato sauce served over linguine! Perfect! I only ate about 1/5 of the pasta...I love pasta but don't like to eat a lot of it. So Brian had all my leftover pasta for lunch the next day :)
This is my new favorite menu item here!Mom also went the seafood route with the one of their specials...
LOBSTER RAVIOLI!!!! With shrimp, spinach, tomatoes, maybe some other stuff, in a parmesan cream sauce! Those ravioli were INCREDIBLE!!
We always have a superb meal when we eat there!
Moving along...but keeping with a somewhat Italian theme:
My favorite Trader... I call him Joe, has done it again! Seriously, their frozen dishes are always a hit! I sampled this at the actual store one day and immediately put a bag in my cart! In fact I frequently buy whatever they are sampling :)These are perfect when you come home later than normal, or are SO HUNGRY you can't be bothered to really cook!
This bag had 4 servings at 130 calories each...I figured I'd make 2 meals out of it and bulk it up!
I added 2 chopped up sun dried tomatoes to a pan, then added a large amount of chopped up KALE!
Once this cooked down a bit, I added the contents of the bag...it always looks weird when its in frozen clumps
But after 8-10 min or so, the frozen clumps thaw into a lovely sauce and its components.
In this case: peas, spinach, and polenta "balls"...in this shape they reminded me of gnocchi! Almost tasted the same too!My bowl with a little shredded parmesan
The sauce had a great little kick and I loved the addition of the sun dried tomatoes!Of course there was dessert:
Thank GOD I can stop myself at 1...these things are SO SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!There are still more yummy eats AND my third and final Restaurant Week review to come!
Happy Thursday!
