Good morning!!! I do hope you had a restful weekend!
We celebrated Victoria’s 23rd birthday this weekend with family. It was wonderful to have her home and to celebrate! We had such a good time just doing life: talking, laughing, cooking, going to the grocery store, laundry, visiting with family, going to the play, staying up late, sleeping in the same bed, and crying. We have to always include a good cry.
Do certain cakes/food/dishes bring back memories to you? This cake does for me. It has been a favorite of Victoria’s for quite a while and here is a link to the Swiss Chocolate Cake Recipe that I posted last year.
I also made a Trimastic Cake from the original Trim Healthy Mama cookbook for those of us who are not partaking of sugar. Victoria iced this cake and topped it with fresh berries and made it look absolutely delicious! It is a delicious cake; but her artistic flair added so much! And this picture that she took of it makes me hungry right now!
She requested that we have Corn Chowder for her birthday meal…yum!
A beautiful display.

Ready to make a wish.
A beautiful daughter. A beautiful birthday. A beautiful life.
Happy Monday!
