The Handsome Birthday Man
Last Sunday we celebrated my sweet husband's 26th birthday! It couldn't have started out any better, waking up in a cozy cabin and then going to get a birthday breakfast at the Donut Friar in Gatlinburg. We hit the road to go pick up our boys and when we arrived at his parents house, Cindy had made some delicious chili for lunch and had surprise cupcakes for the both of us (mine didn't say happy birthday)...sweet! They also gave him a very nice sweater and brown corduroy pants. 
We had a nice visit with his parents before heading home with our two pups! When we got home, I headed out to Harry's Farmers Market to get some things for dinner. Upon request, we were doubling up on steaks this weekend (neither one of us eat very much red meat, but Greg does love a good steak), so even though we had a steak dinner on Saturday night, he wanted his birthday meal cooked by me to be steak too. SO, we had filet mignon, cornmeal fried onion rings, and sauteed wild mushrooms (all recipes courtesy of Ina Garten/Barefoot Contessa). It was very yummy, but a little too salty for my taste...but, I followed the recipes completely, however, next time I'll back off a bit on the salt! I don't have a picture of dessert, but Greg does not really care for birthday cake, so he asked for something that we wouldn't have a ton of leftovers on, so I made Nutella Wontons...these truly, will make you want to slap your own face. SOOOO good! And they're so fast to make and it's nice because you can make as many or as few as you would like. Seriously. Try them TODAY! For Greg's gifts, I got him a new auxillary cable to hook up his iPhone in the car (since I broke the last one), and the new Cross Breed Deluxe gun holster that he wanted for his new gun. It was a fun birthday and I hope that we have so many more to celebrate together! I, of course, had to tease him about being an old man now since he's on the other side of 25 and I'm still a baby at 22 (soon to be 23)! But I love this "old" man more than anything =)Happy Birthday my love!
