I make cookies and cakes for my co-worker's birthdays. I fry chicken and make coleslaw because it is Labor Day. I stop at Golden Spoon on my way home from work because I accomplished a goal. I create beautiful trifles for bridal showers, and pressed sandwiches for picnics with friends. I make myself a white chocolate latte (with foam of course) every Sunday, just because it is the weekend and I deserve it. I am the type of person who loves to celebrate both the little and big things in life, and I always want to celebrate them with food.
So you can imagine, that when there is an real occasion to celebrate, that I love to go all out. And...since it is my birthday this week, I don't see any reason why I shouldn't celebrate EVERYDAY! Don't you agree??? (If you don't agree, just please politely leave this page and refrain from raining on my parade. It's my birthday and I will eat if I want to.)
I will be celebrating here on The Cilantropist ALL WEEK with a new post each day from today through next Sunday. I will share a breakfast dish, a quick and easy lunch, main dishes, sweets and treats, and even a cocktail! And of course, we can't forget the birthday cake... And the best part is that all these dishes feature my favorite foods, because if you can't have your favorite foods for your birthday, when can you have them? Aside from the actual food, I will be guest posting on the Chobani site, I will have a CSN giveaway, and share my 100th post. This will week will be jam packed, so I hope you are excited!!!
