simple weekend recap: edition 4

It appears as though this past weekend was filled with a bunch of seafood. Salmon, lobster, and swordfish! The salmon in a saffron curry sauce is one of my favorite dinners to make. Don't worry, I'll share the recipe later this week!

 

The weather this weekend was perfect, and Erin was able to take full advantage of the sun during a nice long hike through the park.

 

 

 

After some tasty deviled eggs, lobster was definitely due (the first of the season for us...we're so behind the times)!! To wrap up the seafood weekend, we had some of the sweetest corn from the farm down the street.

 

 

 

 

After a long weekend of seafood, some garlic chipotle pasta was much needed (quick&simple recipe later this week, too!)

 

My weekend was filled with good food & the great outdoors...pretty ideal for me!
