The Moose's 1st Birthday Party

Today was The Moose's 1st birthday party! We had a small family gathering at my in-laws' house. We went to the park on his actual birthday. See it here.

 

Here's his paleo, grain free, sugar free, dairy free cake! Find the recipe here. It was yummy!! I made a smash cake for him and cupcakes for everyone else.

We decided on sandwiches because we thought it would be easy for my mother-in-law. But....she doesn't do easy! She made potato salad (seriously the best potato salad in the entire world; her secret is shallots), quinoa salad (I am getting the recipe and will make soon! Excellent!), baked beans, roasted hatch chili peppers (I briefly showed how to roast them in this post), artichokes (I LOVE artichokes), my pickled okra, lots of deli meat and cheese, fruit, stuffed mushrooms, deviled eggs.....there was more.

 4 generations. His great-grandmother flew in from New York for the party!
