The Monday following our weekend in Seattle, we invited some friends over to celebrate Rhett's birthday one last time. I about made myself sick planning the dinner party. Not a joke. I straight up had an ear burning, heart thumping anxiety episode right before the first guests arrived. Riiii ' diculous. I thought the 3 hours I spent planning the menu, emailing myself the links to the recipes, and this one will kill you - writing out a three page time table of what-to-do-when to time the food (whoooo does that??), grouping and laying out the ingredients for each dish on the counter the night before.. all that I thought might make it sooth sailing. But nope. No dinner party smooth sailing happening in my house. But my saving grace was the BOMB cake we made. Holy Mother, it was GOOD. And I have to say "we" cause Rhett threw the two 8 inch devil's cake cake pans in the oven for me so they'd be cool before I got home, and they were perfect. Thank god dessert comes last, and thank god this one was a Winner. I didn't take one photo the whole night, I was such a hot mess. Here are the photos I stole from Instagram from our friends.

... it would be a crying shame if I didn't give honorable mention to the appetizer of the evening, the stuffed jalapenos pepper. SUPER EASY, and SUPER GOOD. Link to recipe is below.

Dinner was sooooo good! Your stress is unfounded because every time everything is perfect.
And those jalapenos were BOMB. I made them a couple weeks ago 'cause I was cravin' 'em again. :)
