Yesterday was my mom's birthday. It was a milestone birthday. I wanted to do something special for her but like most moms she's a self-less giver.
I decided to plan her a low key sit down dinner at home (her request). My dad took her to the flower garden as a little diversion so I could get everything set up.
The menu:
Drinks: Lemon-Thyme Martini and Champagne
Hors d'oeuvres: Crudites with Olive Oil and Prosciutto wrapped Bread Sticks
1st Course: Shrimp & Sugar Snap Saute with Garlic Toasts
2nd Course: Sliced Steak with Shaved Parmesan on Arugula
Dessert: Individual Chocolate Souffle with Vanilla Ice Cream
The Decor:
Various citrus colored flowers around the dining room and at the center of the table. Votive candles, flowers and various pictures of my mom placed around the living room.
I think my mom had a great time and it felt good planning a party for a person that means a lot to me.
