So my dear, sweet husband, Steve, turned the big 50 on Thursday! He said he only felt one day older than he felt the day before! LOL. Carrot cake is his favorite, but since we had just finished off our son’s birthday cake, which was carrot cake, and my own chocolate cake the day before, he decided to fall back on our old favorite, the Carvel Ice Cream Cake. We used to get the Uncle Harry’s version (a local Va. Beach company) when we lived in VA…we’d get a big one, cut it in half, and use half for my birthday and half for his birthday. It’s half vanilla and half chocolate ice cream, split by a layer of chocolate crunchies, which make the whole thing, and topped with whipped cream frosting. It’s delicious! We got the medium size, and it’s already gone! It’s funny, because it actually contains no cake at all…it’s just ice cream!
We capped off our celebration by making a trip to Red Robin so Steve, Holden, and I could all get our free birthday burgers for dinner this evening. The dining room was closed, but we were able to order and take it to go. And that ends our string of winter holidays and birthdays!
Now for a great deal to share with all of you…Starbucks announced they are celebrating Meatless Mondays throughout January. So for the next 3 Mondays, you can order a meatless breakfast item and get $2 off! That means I can order my favorite Spinach Feta Wrap for just $2! I’ll be there with bells on. I haven’t had one in years, and it packs 20 grams of protein for just 290 calories! It also has 3 grams of fiber. The combination of spinach, feta cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes coupled with egg whites in a whole grain wrap is just irresistible!
Enjoy!
