My birthday was earlier in the week but we celebrated this weekend.
One of my most favorites meals he makes for us; roast pork loin with herbs de Provence (love the lavender) and then mashed roasted sweet potatoes with garlic and fresh spring peas. Yummy!
We had some Pinot Grigio as it goes so well with the pork loin.
When we discussed cakes, we decided on an Angel food cake. It's completely fat free (only egg whites, no oil, no butter, no milk) which means we could have as much as we want! It came out amazing.
I made a mixed berry compote (blueberries, raspberries and strawberries) to drizzle over it and we found some wonderful fat free whipped cream to top it with. It was the absolute perfect birthday cake and is SO good.
Hobart, as usual was unimpressed by all the festivities. Side note, we have noticed that when the light hits his fur just right, we see more gray than we used to. He's coming up on 19 1/2! Anyway, we let him sleep. Because...

ReplyDeleteI cat sit and this week I have my sons 16-year-old cat. She sleeps most of the time but still eats well and loves her snacks. She likes to sleep on the guest room bed just like a guest. She loves her Gram and likes to come here. Who or what is Hobart named after?

ReplyDeleteAngel Food Cake..................My favorite. Can do lots with a cake like that It has been years since I made one.
I have 2 round pans along with a square pan. The square angel food pan I bought before our marriage, so it is over 56 years old.
Have a wonderful and blessed day. Enjoy your week
