My 44th Birthday Day

My 44th birthday was a quiet one. We had normal church service at 9am. For lunch, Eric took me to Outback Steakhouse. We enjoyed a delicious lunch - steak, baked potato, Caesar salad, bread and a Bloomin' Onion.

At home, we enjoyed chocolate cake and ice cream from my sister and another dessert that my daughter made for me.

Hubby got me these cute Converse shoes for my birthday. :)

My free Starbucks drink for my birthday.

Flowers are blooming but my birthday wasn't too spring like. Rainy, cool and dreary.

My daughter, Addie, had this sweet bracelet made for me. When she was little, I taught her a little thing with thumbs and saying "Buddies". So now I have this bracelet to remember this. She's gonna leave me in the fall for college.

It was made in Bali from discarded water buffalo bone.

My daughter, Autumn, got me this awesome cookbook! It has tons of great recipes, pictures and scenes from the TV show which is one of our favorite shows of our family. I love this gift!

After lunch with my husband, I enjoyed sitting and reading a book with my blanket. The girls made tacos for dinner and it was just a quiet day.

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

Happy birthday to my husband, Eric! He turns 45 today. I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami. I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno. We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders. I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.

(I cut the chicken breasts in half to make thinner.). Season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and garlic salt until combined.
