… and best friend – my mom.
For a Mother’s Day feast, my sister and I picked up four filets, two globe artichokes, several on-the-vine orange tomatoes and a mini baguette.
We par-boiled the ‘chokes, then quartered and brushed each with a mixture of lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper before placing on the grill to slightly char. The baguette sliced lengthwise was brushed with the remaining artichoke marinade, then tossed on the grill as well.
Meanwhile, Rachel heated her grill pan and cooked the filets to medium-rare perfection. Sliced tomatoes topped with salt and freshly cracked black pepper rounded out the meal.
To dip the artichoke [and bread and steak], I mixed up a concotion of melted butter, smashed garlic, chopped fresh dill, salt and pepper. Oh baby!!
An all-around spectacular afternoon!
Happy Mother’s Day to a gold-star mom. I love you!
[Sorry we didn't bring you any chocolate.]
thank you, you are so sweet! You and Rachel did such a great job on selecting the menu and fixing all the food. It was delicious, wasn’t it? The best part was having both of you here to celebrate with me! That’s better than any chocolate. You two are the best daughters a mom could hope for. I love you, too!
it WAS a stellar meal, i agree!!!
good times, good food, good MOM! :)
Everything looks delicious!
