Today T and I celebrate our 3 year wedding anniversary! Three years ago today we were married in Nassau, Bahamas in a Catholic Church and had our reception at the historic Greycliff Hotel, surrounded by our loved ones. It was a beautiful intimate wedding of about 30 people and every person to this day says it was the best wedding they've ever attended. It really was magical, and so have been the past 3 years (and the 5 years before we were married)!
On Saturday night we started our celebration. We headed into the city to our favorite restaurant Candle79. This is not our first time there, we've been a dozen of times in the past 3 years. As always it was delicious. I am lucky enough to go back this upcoming Friday for my mother in law's birthday. I will probably not take pictures then, so you will have to drool over these!
I started with the Raw Avocado Tartare. I started eating before this picture, so it's missing a cracker! Opps! This was very tasty, T even enjoyed a bite!
For my entree I ordered the Raw Enchiladas. You know how much I love Mexican food!! Especially RAW Mexican food! This had so much going on and so many rich, tangy flavors! Yum!! I might order this again on Friday!
For dessert, I kept with the raw and I ordered the Raw Cherry/Orange Parfait. it had raw granola at the bottom and coconut ice cream on top! AMAZING!!! Beyond words, amazing!
T ordered a salad that was on the specials that had fava beans in it, for his entree he had the Caribbean Jerk Seitan which he loved, and for dessert he had the Strawberry Pie. All were perfect and he enjoyed every bite! By the way, T loves coconut water, he buys the boxed O.N.E. brand and drinks it all the time. I usually buy one Thai coconut at Whole Foods a week to enjoy on Saturday morning in my smoothie. For some reason T would never taste the water or meat from it. I've told him several times that he is missing out, but he continued to be stubborn. On Saturday night, I ordered a coconut water at Candle and he tasted it. He didn't even order another beer because he had to have his own coconut water! Yesterday, he made me go with him to the Asian market so he could buy 6 Thai coconuts!! He is hooked! :)
The best day of my life. Taken at The Greycliff, Nassau, Bahamas. Tonight we are making brown rice pasta and homemade tomato sauce together. We might also go on a canoe ride (T owns a canoe), they possibly watch a movie. Have a LOVELY day everyone!

Happy Anniversary to you! Sounds like you both had a wonderful time and chowed down on some yummy food!
aww congrats!
in a funny coincidence, my 3 year anniversary was may 17 :)
Happy Anniversary! What a sweet picture of you two. It sounds like your dinner was wonderful. I was just telling my husband that we have to let our son experience opening a coconut and tasting a fresh one. Growing up my mom would buy us a coconut every now and then. Us kids would have fun breaking it open then snacking away on it all day. They are delicious.
Happy Anniversay...reminded me I am about to have one as well...
Love your blog, such good energy!
LOL at Mr. T...what exactly did he think he was drinking in his little O.N.E. box that differed from the actual coconut?
Hope you two had a lovely day together. Here's wishing you many more happy and healthy years together.
