Nose To the Grind...

I'm on my hustle trying to get a themed dish prepared for a scholarship and several events together to raise money for school and the Breast Cancer 3 Day coming up in November. Boy is this a challenge! I have a budget to work with but of course, a million dollars doesn't even scratch the surface! (LOL - just kidding) I'm on a mission and the wheels are spinning. By the way, I will be back in the kitchen soon. I know I haven't posted any recipes in a while. Don't you worry! Oh - here is a group photo from the birthday. I had SOOO much to eat! Let's see, I had and oyster shooter, an ahi tower (shared with my kids), some very scrumptious Paella, and a birthday sized slice of german chocolate cheesecake! ...::MmMmMm::...!

Thanks again to all who attended and all who wished me a happy birthday. It most certainly was and you totally made my year!

A little sugar, a little spice, makes a Birthday very nice!

I am so grateful to be celebrating today. God has definitely been blessing me with my hearts desires lately and I have a feeling there is more to come! How wonderful and sweet it is to be loved! To all my friends and those who follow my blog, a big hug out to you!

Now, on with the partying!

OPAH!!!!!!

P.S. be sure to check back for birthday pictures on Saturday! I'm going to my favorite restaurant by the bay! Woohoo! Cheers yawl!

Full Throttle!

What a long time since I've written to you all. A lot is going on these days. Thanks to all who prayed for and supported me. I got accepted into the Art Institute of California for the Culinary Arts Program! I am SO thrilled!
