Birthday dinner for my beau: Creamy garlic herb mushroom spaghetti with herb chicken

Happy birthday Andrew!

Last night, I was dancing at my friends wedding and this morning, I’m serving pizza lunches to students at Shane’s school. Just sayin.
I do have to say that I really enjoyed seeing Shane during the lunch time and watching him interact with his classmates. When I sat next to him, he said; “Mom….Stop…Go….” At least I got a hug though.

My mom made us birthday breakfast : Seaweed soup with rice and some vegetable dishes

Tonight we celebrated his birthday with a bonfire, smores, and cakes in the backyard porch.

He wanted ramen for late night snack. His favorite food on earth that he’s not allowed to have…except for  special occasions such as tonight…;P

Birthday breakfast:Salad with smoked salmon, avocado and poached eggs

I made her apple cider donut “cake”

Photobombed by Chloe… carrying her slime…

Finished the day with a movie night just the two of us. We enjoyed watching Simple Favor. Happy birthday Mom! Words can’t express how thankful I am that you’re my mom. Love you!

When I got the invite for a girls only house warming party at Julie’s, I couldn’t wait to see the house! She and her husband worked on custom building this house, I knew it was going to be good. Really good. What a gorgeous house.

Thank you for a lovely afternoon of delicious food and laughter! My cheeks were sore from laughing so much. Thank you Julie! 

We even took a “prom” picture.

Chloe announced that she’s going to cooked for us this weekend and  she worked on a menu, jotting down a list of grocery list.

She wanted me out of the kitchen and out of her way, so she could do everything on her own. But she needed help so she hired a sous-chef named Andrew. 😉

They were working hard when I came back to the kitchen after being gone shopping with my mom.

My mom looking so amused.

Chloe said this was her invention, her own recipe. It was really really good!

She gave a very good introductory about her food,

then she bowed,

said Grace,

and served her food to everyone. Bravo!

Go Rutgers!

We spotted a falcon in our yard…

I had butterflies in my stomach while driving, thinking about seeing my kids again!

Chloe ran as soon as she saw me!

I MISSED THESE FACES SO MUCH!

Stopped by Bethlehem, PA for some thai food and enjoyed hearing all about their time at camp!
