A birthday celebration has to have cake and ice cream, right? Wrong, we celebrated my husbands birthday with a main pasta dish with pesto, plates of steamed and raw veggies as sides and a low-fat shortbread with fresh peaches. I enjoyed the veggies and made some fresh peach juice for dessert. It was a day of temptations but as long as I didn’t let myself get hungry, I survived. The focus of the day was on the celebration and family time, not on the food. Won the weekly scrabble game which also made it a great day!

Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this blog. It’s
simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very difficult to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appearance.
I must say that you’ve done a very good job with this. Additionally, the
blog loads very quick for me on Chrome. Superb Blog!
