My son always picks this for his birthday cake in December. But this cake is awesome in the summer because the icing is light and creamy.

I went to the Cow Town restaurant to celebrate a friend's birthday.  We had  such a great time.  The Chef's Salad is a great low carb choice when you eat 'out'.  I have had to eat out a lot lately and was kind of worried about the carb count while I was out of town.  Not to worry.  You can get this at McDonalds or really any restaurant anywhere.  The birthday girl and I each had one of these while another friend had  French Dip and a huge pile of french fries.  I had some food envy, but I enjoyed my salad and didn't feel guilty all day.  Yea for me! Chef's Salad Lettuce Boiled egg Cheese (any type you choose) Olives Mushrooms Carrotts Cucumbers Onions Turkey Ham Tomatoes Mix it all or arrange it nicely on a plate.  Yum!

I really like this soup at Olive Garden and this is pretty darn close.  I found gnocchi in the frozen pasta section, like next to the ravioli and tortellini.

Ingredients 3 -4 chicken breasts, cooked and diced 4 cups chicken stock 2 cups half-and-half 1 stalk celery, diced 1 garlic cloves, chopped 1/2 carrots, shredded 1/2 onions, diced 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon thyme salt and pepper 16 ounces potato gnocchi 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional) Directions Saute the onion, celery, garlic, carrot in oil over medium heat until onion is translucent. Add chicken, chicken stock, half and half, salt and pepper, thyme. Heat to boiling, then add gnocchi. Gently boil for 4 minutes, then turn down to a simmer for 10 minutes. Add spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes until spinach is wilted. (Heat to boiling and ad...

I love lamb....baaa...it flicks my trigger, especially when paired with my friend Revonda's hot pepper jelly. Small lamb chops are perfect fare for the grill. The recipe is very simple~just brush them with olive oil and salt and pepper both sides them throw them on a hot grill and cook just until they have grill marks and are a perfect medium-rare~3 to 4 minutes each side, no more. Pair with some rosemary roasted potatoes and some boiled cabbage. You will be so glad that you did!
