I actually wrote the majority of this post last week, but amongst the moving overseas, I didn’t manage to download the last few photos in time for this to be sent to you just after the birthday weekend. Hope you understand!!
The beginning of April was the weekend of both my and Abby’s birthdays – we’re only 4 days apart. And that means more baking and time in the kitchen for me … I know, any excuse!!
So the plan was:
- Molten flourless chocolate cupcakes for Abby to take to school on Thursday (her birthday)
- Family dinner on Thursday night, with Abby’s request of turkey burgers, followed by white chocolate baked berry cheesecake
- Abby’s friends sleepover on Friday night, then have a birthday lunch on Saturday of Chicago-style mini-pizzas, followed by honey-almond cake for Abby to blow her candles out.
- Family lunch at a really nice restaurant on Sunday for both Abby and my birthday celebration
- Family dinner on Monday night (my birthday) with my request of peanut satay chicken, potato wedges and vegetables, followed by peanut butter brownie cheesecake.
Wow! Lots of time in the kitchen, lots of eating … and now lots of exercise required!
Check out how everything turned out in the photos below – we had a great time!
