Special Double Celebration

Reyna's Birthday Celebration

Sweet Day to all you :)
It's been a pretty laid back week for me. We spent most of our time outside enjoying the warm weather. As expected the kids is loving every minute of it which make this summer so much fun. As, I promise from previous post that I'll be posting my daughter's 5th birthday celebration and Father's Day, here it is! I know its kinda late, BUT its not to late to get some birthday ideas and recipes that you might want to try on your next birthday celebration.
Anyways, We did celebrate Reyna's birthday with few of my friends. It was so much! I made them a Strawberry jello ( refer to the pictures above ) macaroni salad espesyal, chocolate crinkles, boiled pork and my friends bring some delicious dish as well to share.
After an awesome get together with my friends. We (Hubby, Me and Garyn) also treat Reyna to her favorite restaurant Red Robin for delicious burgers, pizza and fries dinner. It was scrumptious!!

After 3 days, we celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary. Then, next day we celebrated Reyna's birthday party and Father's Day with my family. It was a blast and fun day being with my family.
Here's a glimpse of Reyna's birthday celebration and Father's Day.:)

FOOD:  The birthday celebrant requested the dish on her birthday. Starting off with  Lumpia Shanghai, Sauteed green beans, Pancit bihon,  Beef Caldereta. My mother in-law made us some delicious deviled eggs, cheesy baked potato and hotdogs. My sister in-law brought some scrumptious wings for everyone to enjoy.
 Yum! Can't get enough of this food.:)

CAKE
As per request by birthday celebrant, chocolate cake with strawberry icing and sprinkles. The process of icing the cake is super easy and I love it. We decided at the last minute to get another cake from the store in addition to the one that I made and it works just perfect!
We paired the cake with vanilla and strawberry ice cream-the best way to end our delicious meal.

Father's Day

My kids made their Daddy a card ( I did order the card online for free- wink!) which makes it more awesome and bought his favorite chocolate bars. Then, The Sommer's ( hubby's sister and brother in-law) gave this delicious picnic basket filled with sweet goodies, cheeses and spreads, peanuts, popcorn, candies, chocolates, sausage and a bottle of red wine. Everything is just delicious! a perfect Father's Day gift and my hubby is loving it.

- That's how we celebrated Reyna's birthday and Father's Day. I hope you find some interesting recipes that you might want to try on your next party/ get together. I would suggest try to bake your kiddies his birthday cake or cupcakes, I'll promise you! It it so much FUN to make them. Share me your Father's Day escapade and your favorite food to have on your birthday.
Until next time everyone! Keep browsing some delicious recipe here on my blog... See you around:)

P.S- Thank you so much to family and friends who always make Reyna's birthday an special one, for being so generous as always. I love you!:)

(Filipino Style)

Macaroni Salad is my ultimate summer favorite snack, for the reason that it just perfectly divine. I was totally in-love with this dish, believe it or not, I can eat the whole thing in like two days.. ooppps! that's like carbs overload, but I don't really care.( hahaha ) Honestly, I do share this delicious Filipino delicacy to my friends and family. This is very popular on Christmas and New Year in the Philippines and every time I missed it, I just make it right away.. Delish!
 Aside from Mango Float and Shakoy, Macaroni Salad is also my kiddies most requested treat, they just simply loved it. So, this is just like my version of Macaroni Salad. This somewhat like freestyle version, whatever you have in hand used it. I'll keep mine simple and easy. It is also good to add your favorites like kaong, nata de coco, or macapuno string.
