Delayed Weekend Wrap Up....

A salad repeat I declared, and a salad repeat it shall be;)  This one was TOOOOO good not to make again....even Scott, who was EXTREMELY hesitant on the grapes & pecans, dug this salad!  It is just toooooooooooo tasty!!  Tangy & Sweet = AWESOMEEEEEEE......

Soooo...I thought I'd show you a few things from the weekend, even if a few of my pictures weren't the best!  On Saturday night we went to one of my Scott's favorite restaurants to continue his birthday celebration (by force, not by his choice! :) hahahahahahhaha....but we went to Issac Newton's in Newtown, PA.  "Issac's" is one of our favorite Fall/Winter 'cozy type' places...so it was quite foolish of me to order this VERY "Fall" tasting salad in the DEAD of summer....
But it IS one of my favorites...even if my picture does it ZERO justice:  Warm Spinach Salad with red onions, dried apricots, caramelized walnuts, Gorgonzola & bacon.  Loaded, right???  It's actually a burger in disguise...hahahahahahha!  But oh my, it is SOOOOOOOOOO good! :)  Visions of falling leaves were dancing through my head while I chewed my way through this;)  (and it wasn't even the Apple Walnut Chicken with Sweet Potato Stuffing...stay tuned for that one, as I'm sure I'll be having it as soon as the weather turns! ;)

And for dessert...we headed a few doors down to the Zebra Stripped Whale (how cute is that website??) where my friend and I split the brownie sundae with vanilla ice cream, hot fudge and PRETZELS...yes, PRETZELS! :)
This was really good...until I ate about 3 spoonfuls TOOOO many!  Lesson #23059723059723 on "When you've had enough: STOP!"  I wasn't lyin when I said it was a journey, right??!!! ;)

Sunday we got to enjoy Round 2 of the eggplant rollatini...but the 'side dish' was what really kicked it up a notch!  The idea came courtesy of my fellow foodie friend:  I made farfalle pasta and then poured the hot pasta over a pot of arugula, spinach and Gorgonzola chunks....
The hot pasta melted the cheese & wilted the greens, making for a SIMPLE & delicious dish!  (Thanks James!! :)

Which brings us now to Tuesday!  (Better than Monday, no??)  And even though I may have ONE MORE 'repeat' coming up this week...TONIGHT is definitely going to be something new & INTERESTING!!!  Stay tuned! ;)
