I was born thirty-five years ago today. I never thought I'd make it this far... I feel so incredibly blessed to be living the life I have now. It's been a long journey so far and I am sure I'll be looking back on this birthday with many fond...
We took a short trip to WholeFoods this afternoon and picked up some Center-Cut Tenderloin, for just $4.99 a piece. We decided to use the Herb-Coated Filet Mignon recipe by EatingWell. I had purchased 3 big huge gigantic GINORMOUS sweet...

I was so excited to finally use some fresh mint from my garden for this Mojito Marinade by EatingWell. It's a pretty simple recipe and can be used on just about any kind of meat or seafood. I choose to make chicken this time and will try it...
