My Mom's Birthday

Birthday's are always hard.

Started off the morning with two sick kids, so breakfast/lunch consisted of whole wheat toast with butter. I had the same, later in the day we had toast again with peanut butter on it.

Kenny had a Large Grapefruit for breakfast and tuna salad for lunch.

We had my family come over for an early dinner.
Hamburgers and Hotdogs, Kenny "hamburgers sans buns"
A very large veggie filled salad

Romain and Red Leaf Letuce
Onions
Tomatoes
Broccoli
Red and Green Bell Pepper

and a sugar free coleslaw on the side

Bag of ColeSlaw Mix, pre shreaded cabbage
1/2 cup Mayonaise
1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon dill
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Whisk together and mix into the shreaded cabage. We added 1 Tablespoon splenda because it was quite sharp with the vinegar.

We made homemade Sugar Free Vanilla Ice Cream

3 eggs
2 cups of heavy cream
1/2 cup of water
5 Tablespoons of Splenda
1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Flavoring

Blend eggs in blender till light and fluffy, blend in Splenda one Tablespoon at a time. Add remaing ingredients and blend well. Pour into Ice Cream maker and follow manufacturers instructions.

We had the ice cream with regular sugary/carbolisious chocolate cake with white icing. Kenny opted out on the cake along with my sister-in-law. They had Raspberries and Blueberries instead.

We went out and Mom, Melody and I consumed large glasses of honey brewed beer, Ken and Jared stuck with water I think Ken may have had some Beer at the beginning of the night. We did have Nacho's and Hot wings to snack on. It was a party, we had to live a little bit.
