Yesterday was Cecilia’s birthday. She turned 25, as you can see by the crown we made her.
We also made ourselves party hats and found some cute animal noses to add to the festivities. I was the elephant. Even though you can’t see it in that picture, I was smiling. Maybe you can tell from my smiling eyes.
Missy (the wearer of the pig nose) brought the salad. I made the Pioneer Woman’s stuffed mushrooms. The mushrooms are filled with cream cheese, onions, garlic, white wine and sausage.
The chicken is from the new cookbook I got in the mail last week: Nigella Express. It has four ingredients: chicken, garlic infused olive oil, bacon and white wine. It was moist, it was bacony, it made me do my happy dance. (I’m not kidding. I do a little happy dance in my seat when I eat good food.)
Finally to top it off we had cornbread. When I asked Cecilia what she wanted for her birthday dinner the only answer I got from her was, “Umm…. Oh! cornbread.” Cornbread it was.
