Six years ago, when Matt turned 20, he told me that his favorite type of cake was; “confetti cake with chocolate frosting”.
nothings changed since then, really
Six years later, that is still what I bake for him on his birthday, and this year was no different.
When it comes to cake, to me, the frosting is the best part of the whole experience.
In fact, I’d take a container full of creamy chocolate frosting over the cake any day!
Especially chocolate fudge frosting, which is what I used today.

It took some will power to keep the spatula aimed towards the cake instead of at my mouth.
- Jenna: 1
- Chocolate covered Spatula: 0
While I waited for the cake to cool, I completed day 3 of Insanity and let me tell you, my calves are SO ANGRY!
Damn you Shaun T!
My body is definitely responding to the workouts, and it’s a whole new level of “hardcore training”. No matter how in shape you think you are, he will have you sweating buckets all over the floor.
But you feel so good when your done!
I replenished my shaking muscles with a green smoothie, topped with Kashi and some fresh blueberries
- 1 scoop vanilla Sunwarrior protein powder
- 1/2 frozen banana
- 2 handfuls fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- water and ice
Does a body good.
Off to spend some time with the birthday boy!
Happy Birthday, Handsome! xoxo
Enjoy your Friday, everyone!
