DIY Terrarium


So we bought a house with an overgrown garden that (really) is a treasure box of interesting plants. After researching terrariums on the web, (inspired) the kids and I (bucket in hand) went hunting for plants and pretty rocks….

A Valentine's Day Menu


This was the menu for Richard's birthday, but I thought it would also make a great Valentine's Day Menu. It's super easy and quick, but also elegant and special!

For the Grilled Lobster with Lemon Parsley Butter, all you need is in the photo below. 


Mix the lemon, parsley and butter together.


Add half the butter mixture on the lobsters.


Grill the lobsters (I've done it on the barbecue or in the oven at 400 degrees). 
Melt the remaining butter.

Cook the fettuccine as directed on the package. Drain in a colander that has spinach in it. This will cook the spinach sufficiently, then toss the noodles with some of the melted butter. Serve the remaining Lemon Parsley Butter with the lobster. 


Voila!


Enjoy the Lemon Tiramisu for dessert!

You'll find the recipes on my food page. 

Enjoy!
