Our Party Anniversary

Today Chris and I will celebrate 4 years from our wedding date. Not quite the day we got married, but the day that we celebrated with our family and friends our marriage. To celebrate we are grilling to T-bone steaks with some simple salt and pepper. Chris learned a salt technique where we completely coat the steaks with salt and allow them to marinate for about an hour. Then you wash the salt off and grill. It makes them very tender and perfectly salty. A little pepper for spice an yum! On the side we will have some fresh string beans with olive oil, salt and pepper. Not much to this, but with good olive oil the taste the amazing.

We are spoiled. We buy just what we need for meals. We don't tend to keep "snack" food around. This allows us to splurge on things like really good olive oil. Have you ever been to an olive oil tasting? One where they give you a small "cup" of olive oil for you to sip? If you haven't, try it! Don't think about calories, just think about all the good fat you're taking in. No bread for dipping, just sipping. Chris found Temecula Olive Oil company and did just this. He now has it shipped to us and let me tell you...it makes a HUGE difference! The smallest drop of this on a dish just makes it amazing! I can't describe the flavor. You have to try it for yourself. Splurge on a bottle of olive oil that costs as much as a bottle of wine and you'll see! I promise the bottle will last you longer than the wine will. It is so worth it!

As we celebrate tonight, we raise a glass to all of you who are eating and living healthier!
