WIAW – Birthday Fun!

Happy Hump Day!

Sorry I have been out of commission the past couple days, but my husband treated me to a couple of nights in San Francisco for my birthday and we just got back yesterday. My actual birthday was on Monday, so we stayed Sunday and Monday nights in the city.

It was SO nice to get away for a couple of days, sleep in, enjoy the city, eat wonderfully delicious food, shop and just spend time together as a couple. It was truly the best birthday! On top of it all, when we got home, my mom made me a wonderful dinner dinner of all of my favorites (raviolis, roast beef, broiled zucchini and salad), along with a banana bread cake with cream cheese frosting that Keenan helped her make. It was the perfect ending to my birthday celebration!

Anyhow, since our getaway in the city centered around food, as we went on an awesome food tour of North Beach (that I highly recommend!) and also ate at some amazing restaurants, here is a little recap on all of the food we ate (all pictures taken with my phone, since I was too lazy to take out my camera) while linking up with Jenn for What I Ate Wednesday.

Our food tour included…

The best meatballs I’ve ever eaten at a family restaurant that has been in business for over twenty years.

To-die-for pizza at Tony’s Pizza Napoletana, which is owned by Tony Gemignani, eleven time world pizza champion.

Wonderful cannoli (and I don’t even like cannoli!) and a cappuccino at Cavalli Cafe.

Scrumptious kahlua truffles at XOX Truffles that the owner made for us while we were there!

The perfect ending to my birthday dinner, homemade tiramisu.

My mom’s wonderful banana bread cake with cream cheese frosting! After Keenan helped me blow out the candles, he immediately reached to lick them!

That’s it for tonight. Have a good one!
