Celebrated Wizzy's Birthday yesterday...She's 23...have I told you I still can't believe it! So the menu for the meal...back when they were little I let my kids pick what they want to eat for their birthday...doesn't matter that it might take me four days they get it. Its the one thing I don't complain about when they ask. I started this when there where times when I couldn't get give them much for a present... so make the day and meal about them.
Wizzy decided on bruschetta and chocolate cake. Then I decided on Chicken Marsala since she couldn't figure something out. Now my bruschetta is different than most...I cut up tomatoes, add garlic (tons!), basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and then add mozzarella cheese! I let it sit at least overnight and then spoon over bread or toast...my kids would eat just a bowl of it as a snack.
The chocolate cake...Wizzy & I were watching Pioneer Woman and she made a cake for her husband and I changed it...which those who know me is quite common. So I deemed it the Hunka Hunka Birthday cake! It was quite the success!
As you can see...very very yummy! She loves chocolate and raspberry so we got er' done!
Chicken Marsala turned out great...I tried onion fritelle...which I saw on The Chew, but they still need some tweaking.
And this was all paired with some great wine and prosecco! From the smile I think she had a great time!
