Just a few years ago, this same week, I wrote a very personal meal plan for a rather exceptional lady. She was Lilly’s Table’s biggest fan then and despite the increased competition from her granddaughter, she is still number one.
This week is different from a few years ago. For one, there are of course new recipes interspersed with her favorites. More importantly, I am honored and blessed, because she arrived to my home to celebrate with me and my family. I am so excited to think you all will be cooking her favorites alongside me during her birthday week.
Being from the Pacific Northwest she adores Lemon Salmon, Mashed Potatoes and Arugula Parmesan Salad. Even though cucumbers are not in season, her recipe for Cucumber Sauce is best to accompany this salmon meal.
She also loves my Chicken & Mushroom Pate and these Pate & Marmalade Sandwiches were her beloved Father’s favorite and by default she is quite the fan.
She swears by eating avocados while pregnant to help the baby’s skin. This Avocado Tahini Sauce is a versatile way to use avocados smeared across Portabello Burgers or for breakfast in an Egg Sandwich with Spinach.
I fully intend to spoil her this week with a few delightful salads that she has never tried including the Fig & Feta Bulghur Salad (photo in email) and the Orange Tahini Roasted Sweet Potato & Pear Salad.
The Apricot Roast Chicken is also new to her and it is lovely paired with Honey Mustard Kale Salad and Lemon-Ginger Cauliflower. Leftover chicken is fabulous in this Apricot Pistachio Chicken Salad.
In addition to her birthday, it is also Mardi Gras this week and what better way to celebrate than with pancakes! Also known as these Lemon Dusted Crepes in our home. Make up more Crepes than you need this Pancake Tuesday to enjoy a dinner of Spinach Crepes.
Happy Birthday Mom! Thank you for your support of not only me, but your enthusiasm for Lilly’s Table. I am thrilled to celebrate the 70 amazing years of your beautiful life with you this week.
Cook seasonally. Eat consciously. Live well,
