Lettuce Leaf Tacos with Avocado-Cilantro Cream

Lettuce Leaf Tacos with Avocado-Cilantro Cream | kumquatblog.com @kumquatblog recipe

what a lovely long weekend.

the weather here in the dc area has been amazing. just the kind that makes you want to sit out on the porch and stick your face in the sunshine. the ideal weather for having a passel of 9-year old boys hanging out in your backyard in mid-february.

and so it was.

my son’s 9th birthday is today! and this weekend was the celebration. a trip to a beloved lego batman movie followed by some seriously barbaric wrestling on our trampoline, cupcakes, pizza, creeper cake pops, and a piñata full of goodies. it was a great day spent with friends, being grateful for this extraordinarily incredible kid. really the most thoughtful, positive, encouraging little old soul i know. a great day.

so today i’m especially grateful for that boy. those 55 hours of labor that were so worth it 9 years ago.

it happens to also be the recipe redux day. and this time they’ve encouraged us to make a taco recipe for taco tuesday.

which always makes me think of the lego movie.

and so… all the pieces click together… my boy’s birthday, legos, and taco tuesday.

happy birthday, bud.

i’m forever and always humbled to be your momma. and so glad you are mine!
