Grilled Peaches

Catherine didn't want cake for her birthday dessert. Instead requested grilled peaches. Never having grilled fruit before. I thought this was an awesome idea. Turned out well also. Grilling it warmed it up and with the cream cheese, honey, and sour cream topping. It was a sweet tooth's cravings cure.

Raspberry Chipotle Pork Loin

George and Sarah came over for Catherine's birthday. We wanted to use a pork tenderloin that we had in the freezer. So, I made a fresh raspberry and chipotle glaze for the pork. I was pretty good. It was strange to taste berries while eating meat, but in a good way. I made garlic and cheddar mashed potatoes and parmesan green beans as sides. The green beans were awesome. I will definitely be making them again. Everyone liked all the dishes.

Tomato Pea Pasta with Shrimp

Tonight, I tried something a little different. Pasta with a mild tomato sauce with carrots, shallots, garlic and peas. It was very good. I changed the recipe a little to better soot my wife's diet. I took out some of the olive oil and half the cheese that was to be in it. I did add some sauteed shrimp to the top. I think that I would skip that in the future. It wasn't needed.

All in all it was very good but I felt that it needed something, the flavor was good but it seemed to be a little bland. Maybe I just like robust flavors. I would make this again. Even my 9 month old really enjoyed it.
