And when your dad hits the big 7-0, it calls for some major peanut butter and chocolate because peanut butter and chocolate is the one thing we all have in common in our family.
We may not see eye to eye on everything, but when it comes to peanut butter and chocolate, my parents, brother, sister and I give a collective "amen!"
Not only did we devour the cake that would knock Miss Martha's socks off, but we dug into the carne asada bar, watched Papa open gifts, and caught up with each other.
Pumpkin apple cider anyone?
Yeah, I thought so.
When Papa opened his photo book, which was made in i-photo, Jack (3) exclaimed, "Papa! You got a new computer!"
We're Mac people. He made his daddy proud.
Life is busy. School, work, and sports keep us apart more often than not. Even though we live within an hour of each other, we don't see each other as often as we'd like to.
Maybe if I made this cake more often, that would change things.
You can find the recipe here. Not a peanut butter and chocolate fan? Go ahead and substitute another ice cream. I may not understand it, but I won't hold it against you.
Enjoy!
Much love,
Katie

happy birthday to your dad!!! Ummm...hello cake...I always say chocolate isn't really worth eating unless peanut butter is involved. I had no idea they made pumpkin sparkling cider?! I need some.
That cake! Oh goodness I will have to try it...maybe Brett's bday!
I cannot believe you MADE that cake! I didn't realize until I reached the end of your post -- it looks amazing.

OHHH MYYY GOODNESSS. you are speakin' my language with this post! that cake looks to die for! hope you're doing well. glad you were able to celebrate your dad in such a fun way!
Now that's my kind of party :) Happy 7-0 to your dad! I'm going to have to make this recipe. Hope it turns out as pretty as yours. We live within an hour of most of relatives. Maybe if I made that cake we'd get together more often, too.
Carne Asada! Something I look forward to every time we go to San Diego. You can't buy it here. My hubby has seasoned and made it himself...but it's hard to even find the right cut of meat. Mmm I'm jealous :-)
Sweet post! That cake looks amazing!
Oh I hope your daddy had a great birthday... It looks like he did! My mommas 70th is coming up next year and my wheels are already spinning on how to make it special. And thanks for sharing that recipe!! Yummmm!
