Happy Birthday Dear Husband....

 Yesterday, my dear husband had a big birthday....the big 3-0! I made my first ever from-scratch cake (this Hawaiian Carrot Cake with Coconut Cream Cheese frosting). I cut the recipe in half and baked 2 6-inch cakes. I lost a layer during the cutting process so this guy is 3 layers instead of 4. I highly recommend baking the cake the day before if you can (the longer it has too cool & rest the easier it will be to cut and frost). My cake may not be pretty but it was definitely tasty! Cory requested meat loaf & mashed potatoes for dinner....decided to change it up and try Pioneer Woman's meat loaf recipe. Oh holy comfort food!!! YUM! I cut the recipe in half, omitted the bacon, and used dried parsley and bread crumbs instead of fresh because it's what I had on hand. It was a lovely & low-key evening, just as he had requested after a long day of work + school.
Happy Birthday Dear Husband, Happy Birthday to you!
