My sister Abby reached the\u00a0\u00a0auspicious “double-nickel” age of 55 this year. Family and friends celebrated the occasion with a three-cheese and eggplant lasagne, panzanella and artichoke hearts – a menu designed to satisfy vegetarians and kids. The lasagne recipe from Better Homes & Gardens<\/a> emerged from an old file I had been saving \u00a0of interesting-looking recipes and the panzanella (now a house favorite) is one of Giada’s from her Everyday Italian<\/a> cookbook. The lemon custard birthday cake, decorated with Abby’s favorite butterfly designs, was purchased from Sweet Things Bakery<\/a>. Blueberries accompanied the cake as a great complement to the color as well as an effort to serve something healthy along with the decadent confection.<\/div>\n

Everyone took home the two nickels on their plates as party favors!<\/div>\n\n\n\n
