Relish Carolina

Relish Carolina is a fabulous roaming dinner party that is put on at different venues throughout Charlotte every couple of months.  Last Thursday, my friends and I partook in the one hosted at Heist Brewery, titled the Hellish Seafood Boil.  We arrived and immediately took part in sipping on delicious cocktails with fun names like Whisky Strong and Champagne Dreams.  The appetizers were delivered on old wooden doors and people mingled and exclaimed over the lobster hanging out in a baby pool and the various retiles such as turtles and terrifying snakes (I ran away every time one came near me). We sat down at a long dinner table and prepared ourselves for a feast, seafood that was cooked to perfection, lobster, crab, shrimp and crawfish.  It was a wonderful experience and one I hope to repeat!  

Ahmazing seafood

Ready with our lobster bibs....thank goodness we had them, things got a little messy!!

Cheers!  Yummy cocktails!

Friendly lobster who was on a leash in the baby pool, he was around 90 years old

Fun friends at the dinner party!

A Delish Recipe

This recipe is an old favorite of mine I began making in college, I have made it healthier now and it is one of my go to delish meals!!!

-Quinoa Pasta (so much better for you and taste like whole wheat pasta)

-Sun-dried tomatoes

-Baby Spinach

-Fat Free Feta Cheese

-1 lemon

-olive oil

Cook the quinoa pasta per the directions, make sure you don't overcook the pasta.  In a medium skillet, put 2 tbsp. of olive oil and sauté the spinach over medium heat until it becomes limp.  Squeeze the lemon over the spinach and stir.  Take as many sun-dried tomatoes you want and place them on a paper towel to remove the oil.  Add the sun-dried tomatoes to the spinach and toss around for a minute.  Drain the pasta and add the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes to the pasta.  Add the feta cheese on top and voila, a quick, easy delish meal!!
