home is where my husband is stationed: hubby turns 25

Happy Birthday, HUBBY!!!

Tyler's birthday celebration began the night before his big 25th b-day at our favorite winery of the Hills, Prairie Berry!!! The Berry hosts several "Summer Bistros" each summer and we were able to make the last one. Absolutely amazing and fresh produce were used from a local farm to create all of these dishes. Some of our favorite wines also made an appearance. It was a small dinner lit by twinkling lights. A local musician serenaded us the entire night which made our celebration that much better. It was perfect and we can't wait to make it to one of their Harvest Bistros.

Thinly sliced beets, carrots, and zucchini tossed with a lemon vinaigrette, Parmesan shavings, and toasted pine nuts. This salad, if that's what they call this delectable treat, was out of this world good. I wanted to lick the plate. Instead I brought home the description so Ty could recreate it.
