Spring Birthday Dinner Menu

My mom turned 75 this week. Assorted fruitShe likes salmon and my dad likes steak and they both like bacon. If you go by the fastfood menus, everything's better with bacon, right? But what about the fruits and veggie? The dessert is a light and refreshing and the pasta salad takes advantage of the seasonal availability. Just don't rehead the onion sauce as the recipe calls for a perfect dish.

Menu
U15 shrimp wrapped in applewood smoked bacon and glazed with Harry & David Pepper & Onion Relish (grilled with hickory chips)

Cedar Plank Salmon with an Asain Glaze(brown sugar, fresh grated ginger, crushed garlic, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil)
