Fillet Mignon with a Wild Mushroom Balsamic Tapenade

Paired with Grilled Organic Vegetables and Multi Grain Rice; this dish was deliciously hearty yet healthy at the same time.

Thanks to Car's boyfriend Nate and his family for having me over for dinner. An amazing night filled with good company, laughter, wine, and of course, delicious food!

Dreyer's French Silk

Its always cool to visit Lolo Mar since his freezer is always stocked with ice cream!

Car and I enjoyed this so much during our visit that we finally bought our own..

Chocolate, Vanilla, and Mocha mousse slowly churned until smooth. Bittersweet chocolate chips breaks the sweetness of the ice cream, making it even more harder to stop from getting another scoop.


Now to get another scoop or not...
