Weekend Raves
Just a few random things to share...
Last night, we celebrated my mom's birthday at a wonderful, new restaurant in St. Louis called Bravo! (located outside of the West County Mall). We loved the atmosphere (a lot like Brio...apparently they are owned by the same corporation), the staff, and our delicious meals. I would definitely go back again! We loved it! Happy birthday MOM!A few weeks ago, I signed up to go to Time For Dinner with my friend, Allison. This morning, I arrived and prepared some awesome meals. I made Bistro steaks with Dijon Brandy Sauce, Calypso Roast Pork, Parmesan Encrusted Chicken, Southwestern Lime Chicken, Stuffed Pork Tenderloin, and Twice Baked Potatoes. Here is the concept, you go to different stations and prepare this amazing meals. All of the ingredients are there for you, all of the measuring tools, bowls, and mixers. You just follow the directions and then pack the foods up to be put in your freezer. I haven't been this excited to eat dinner in a while! I will let you know the meals are as we eat them! This is such a great concept and I will definitely be going back here too! Check out my laundry basket of food!
Finally, I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that we are working with a wonderful invitation vendor, Melinda at Paper Frosting. She is sending mailings to wedding coordinators in the area and Mike is doing calligraphy on her black envelopes with white ink. They look FABULOUS and I have to share. (These addresses are public information of companies that can me found online.)
I need to get ready for a wedding tonight. It is at Moulin...another first!!!
wow, the calligraphy looks great and that "time for dinner" place is a great concept! Let us know how it all tastes!
1. We have a Bravo! too, it's yummy! Haven't been in awhile...I may have to check it out now that you remind me of it.
2. We have a similar place called Pass Your Plate! It's so much fun and a really good deal. I used to do it a lot when I was in med school and too busy to cook a meal each night. I hope the food turns out well!
3. Your husband is so talented! Those envelopes look amazing!
Ooooh, Time for Dinner sounds like fun!
The calligraphy looks amazing. Your hubby is so talented. :)

I've heard good things about Time for Dinner. Did they have a selection of vegetarian options? I hope you had fun at Moulin! Our RD was there and it was a blast.
