Tyson's Birthday

We celebrated Tyson's birthday at home this year; it was relaxing to stay in, cook and enjoy each other's company. You never know what you're really missing kitchen-tool-wise until you have it. My Le Creuset French Oven and immersion blender (and attachments) are proving to be crucial!

I made some tasty snacks including his favorite cucumber sandwiches, spanakopita wedges, patatas bravas and a Spanish inspired chicken + rice dish (not pictured). It was followed by a Jayhawk cake. My mission is to perfect the Jayhawk cake for next year.
