Dinner was a HUGE success

and nary a photo in sight. I was too busy entertaining and eating to snap pics, but everything was awesome.

The Menu (perfect for summer!)
  • orzo pasta salad (dried cherries, toasted pine nuts, fresh basil, & feta)
  • apricot couscous (dried apricots, cumin, cinnamon, toasted almonds, & green onion)
  • pork tenderloin (marinated in soy, olive oil, sugar, fresh ginger, & minced garlic)
  • romaine & spinach salad (nectarines, green apple, spicy toasted pecans, & Mara's dressing)
  • grilled veggie pasta (fresh herbs, zucchini, yellow squash, asparagus, onions, garlic, red & orange peppers)
  • fruit salad (with lime vanilla simple syrup)
  • bread (sourdough, cheese bread, & french)
I took a chance with the couscous and it was so good. I've never made it & I was shocked how simple it is!
