Lauren’s Birthday Celebration

We had to celebrate Lauren’s birthday after the fact because we were still gone for her actual birthday. But I made something very special for her when we got home.

Lauren is Italian, and I was inspired to make her a traditional Italian dinner for her birthday, in part by our trip to the North End, or Little Italy, in Boston. I even bought her a North End Italian cookbook as her birthday present. Her whole dinner was from recipes out of her birthday present, although she didn’t know that at the time. 🙂

Lauren said she wanted lamb. OK. No problem. I made her some Crying Lamb as the main entree. I served it with some green beans and marinated mushrooms, olive bread, a spinach salad with a prosciutto vinaigrette, and rice pudding with chocolate covered pistachios for dessert. She was completely WOWED!! She said this was better than going to any restaurant, and it was her choice for me to cook her birthday dinner rather than go out. So I cooked her a delicious, authentic Italian dinner. 🙂

I’ve been telling you all along I have been busy cooking ever since we got back. I am always cooking up something. I am Jeanne, from “A Jeanne in the Kitchen” after all. 🙂

All the delicious recipes will be coming to you in good time, have no fears or doubts about that. 🙂 In the mean time, just sit back, relax, and let the good vibes come your way.

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
