Violet Milk Cleanser-Add 1 tsp violet petals to 1/4 cup milk. Heat gently until nearly simmering, and keep heating gently until the milk is strongly violet-scented. Strain, bottle, keep in the fridge and use within three or four days.

Originally I was planning to do a post today about things that you can make for babies and expectant mothers. But, well, my computer decided to hate me. So I'm trying something different in the hopes that it will work!

Just last week I was in Las Vegas where I had the chance to visit Mesa Grill (in Caesar's) once again. Im a fan of Bobby Flay and love his grilled foods. As a result, my second trip to Mesa with my bf did not disappoint:
Blue Corn Cornbread Muffins and Italian Sourdough Bread -- the cornbread was our fave
Rough Cut Raw Tuna Nachos with Mango Hot Sauce and Avocado Crema -- so incredibly delicious and fresh, the kick of cilantro was great
Crispy Squash Blossoms Filled with Ricotta Cheese, Corn, Basil, and a
Yellow Habanero Sauce -- a very elegant starter that paired nicely with the sauce
Spice Crusted Swordfish Steak with Charred Jalapeno-Basil Vinaigrette -- this was the bf's and it was very, very good
21-Day Aged Black Angus New York Strip Steak with House-Made Mesa Steak Sauce -- cooked perfectly and very tasty, although I wasnt a fan of the steak sauce (but then again I dont like A1)
Side of Roasted Corn with Lime, Chipotle, and Cotija -- unbelievably delicious, the lime was such a good complement to the roasted corn
Warm Chocolate Cake, Dulce de Leche, and Toasted Pecan Ice Cream Served on a French Macaroon -- a very sinfully delicious lava cake, but not too much dulce de leche (which tasted more like nutmeg juice than anything), so I was sad
Mesa Fresca with Sauza Hornitos Tequila and Grapefruit Soda -- I wanted to try this last time, and it is quite refreshing!
