Well, I'm practically not a blogger anymore, ha. But one of these days perhaps I'll start up again on a more consistent basis. For now ... a little recap of our sweet little girl's first birthday. It's hard to believe how fast time has gone by and how big she has gotten.
Next up, I utilized some of my many zucchini by slicing it up and topping it with sun dried tomatoes, green onion, feta cheese, salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Along with that, I had some hummus and pita chips, chocolate chip cookies and of course … cake!
It was a very blessed day for sure! Happy 1st birthday, Emy!!
I wanted to keep things simple while using up some of my garden bounty so I made a few appetizers inspired from Pinterest.
First up, caprese kabobs featuring cherry tomatoes sliced and topped with basil and mozzarella cheese sitting in some olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Next, toast bites which consisted of petite toasts topped with spreadable cream cheese, arugala, chives, salt, pepper and drizzle of olive oil.

All were very tasty!
Next up ... the infamous smash cake! She didn't love solids for awhile so I wasn't sure how she would take to her "smash cake" but it turns out it was a big hit! I used a recipe inspired from here which had no added sugar sweetened with bananas and apple sauce. The frosting simple consisted of cream cheese and apple juice concentrate.

Like I said ... Emy loved it, lol.
