we were directed by the advent to try a new restaurant, so we went to lunch yesterday at rutabegorz. i have always been partial to going out to eat for dinner (instead of lunch), but aaron's been trying to convince me for a while now that eating out for lunch can be just as fun. looks like i should probably listen to him more often.... ;)it was more-than-perfect weather, so we ate outside and walked there because it is so close. i ordered the butternut squash ravioli with pesto, walnuts and broccoli, which was pretty incredible. i tend to exaggerate how good some foods are, but this really was so delicious! i'm already obsessed with pesto, and ravioli will forever and always be my favorite pasta....especially the kind that involves any kind of squash. (or pumpkin.)
if only every monday afternoon could be like this. <3
i'm a big fan of lunching. it's usually less crowded, smaller portions and the big one.. cheaper!
ReplyDeleteand you had me at ravioli and pesto.
I LOVE your hair! So adorable! You should post a tutorial on how you did it :)
ReplyDeleteyourrrr hair is lovely.<3
ReplyDeletei love you hair!! i need to try to do my hair like that...probably wont look as amazing as yours though.
ReplyDeleteYum! I just made my first fresh pasta and used it to make sweet potato ravioli! I have a recipe for using wonton wrapper for ravioli (http://acollectionofpassions.com/blog/butternut-squash-and-roasted-garlic-ravioli). It's so gooooood!

The advent looks like a hit already! I love long lunches and lazy afternoons. The food looks delicious and you look beautiful. Why not turn every Monday afternoon into this?! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sweet post. Need to remember to go out to lunch one of these days! xo
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of trying new places. My husband and I tend to keep going to the same places and ordering the same dishes, so one of our resolutions was to try new places!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures, as always! And pesto... yummy! I'm currently very big on pesto as well, which reminds me I still have some pea pesto ravioli leftovers in the fridge :)
i have been wanting to go there for a long time. that ravioli looks AMAZING. i want.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great post about our beloved restaurant! 40+ years and we're still loving every minute of feeding people healthy food!
ReplyDeleteAhhh eating outside - I miss those days! Love your hair :)
