Happy Birthday to Me!

Earlier this month, I celebrated my 28th birthday. B surprised me by cooking breakfast, lunch AND dinner for us! Each meal had a different theme about us and our marriage.



Chef Brian

He used to say he "couldn't even make a sandwich," but now that I know better, I might have to take advantage of his skills more often!







Breakfast in bed: Raspberry and Banana Pancakes with Orange Juice

Why? Because we LOVE pancakes!



Lunch: Fluffernutter sandwiches

Why? Because our first date was at the Peanut Butter Co. in NYC. Both of us ordered peanut butter sandwiches - one with orange marmalade, white chocolate and almonds and the other with dark chocolate, cherries, and coconut. It was meant to be!

And finally...







Dinner: Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp with Chipotle Cheese Grits

Why? Because we love to watch TopChef together every Wednesday! (Well, I love to watch it, and Brian loves to talk about what an a$$ he thinks Tom Colicchio is.) This recipe came from a Top Chef contestant in Season 3.

What a fun birthday!
