My son turned 38 years old this week. I am still trying to get over this. He will be 40 in two years. What’s that all about? Where does time go? I mean when did my little 2 year old boy become this man?
My son’s birthday was celebrated with a family dinner and a birthday cake. 
My mother made his favorite meal, Fettuccine
His wife made a HUGE bowl of salad.
The little ones just hung around enjoying their time together. Especially with baby Emma.
They waited patiently for the food to be served.
So precious.
Even Christian was pretty quiet this evening. For some reason he decided to make sure Emma’s baby carriage is rolling and able to hold her baby doll.
Did you know that we now have Ringo Starr as a member of the family. Ever since he got a drum set for Christmas Ringo has become his drumming name.
The older my daughter and son got the closer they have become, which makes me happy.
OK, this picture does not depict their closeness but believe me they are.
I did tell them to smile. 🙂
Oh, my mother made these super delicious cookies.
Sophie liked them. I will be getting the recipe.
Now this birthday celebration was done on a work night. We all had to get up for work the next day, except for the teachers in the group. Something about winter break.
We ended the night with melting ice cream cake. Hate ice cream cake always melts but that is what my son wanted.
Yes, my son turned 38. Now this is time well spent.
I love receiving the AICR (American Institute for Cancer Research) newsletter. I learn a lot about what is healthy and how to create healthy eating.
Now we all know herbs can give your food fresh taste and fragrance to our foods, but did you know that herbs are super good for your health? They sure are!
Herbs, whether fresh or dried are super full of phytochemicals that may help prevent cancer.
AICR recommend the following herbs .
BASIL
Basil contains phytochemmicals, which we know as flavonoids, which may offer a variety of health benefits. Oh, those flavonoids! They do wonders for our health. Crumble dried sweet basil leaves in tomato sauce, or rub on fish or chicken. Sprinkle some in your tuna salad, tossed salads. I love to saute garlic and basil in olive oil and then toss in some shrimp.
Cilantro (Spanish for Coriander)
Cilantro can be spicy or citrusy. This herb, I find, is not very popular with some people, not sure why. Cilantro is to be sprinkled in green salad, scrambled eggs, pasta or potato salad. Oh, try it in chili.
MINT
Mint contains several protective flavonoid phytochemicals. Can be sprinkled on yogurt, granola and breakfast fruit. Sprinkle over green peas or garnish your tea with mint. Really tasty when added to sparkling water. When you add a sprig of mint to your water it just looks so fresh.
OREGANO
This herb’s essential oils contain carvacrol, which some findings report may reduce the risk of norovirus. Oregano can be sprinkled on roasted vegetables, great in chili, and chicken soup.
Sprinkle, crush, crumble or sprig these herbs and you can be sure you are on good health track.
Here are three shoes that I have waiting for Spring to come around. I got them at JCP with free shipping.
