Birthday highlights:
Breakfast was an old favorite: Homemade Banana Yogurt.
With extra banana, sliced strawberries, cacao nibs, and a homemade granola recipe (going in the cookbook). Not pictured: A side of Ezekiel toast spread with Nutzo nut butter. Not exactly the fanciest of birthday breakfasts, but it was delicious nonetheless.
During the day I went to a spa and got a $400 massage, followed by a hot stone massage and cucumber facial worked a lot on the cookbook, answered emails and questions, did some baking experiments and photoshoots, and made my own birthday dessert (recipe tomorrow!).
Then I drove to my parents’ for spaghetti dinner, and these faces greeted me:
[Insert melted heart here.]
After dinner, S and I went out for drinks, so the aforementioned birthday dessert had to wait until the next day… but it was well worth the wait. Oh, and it wasn’t chocolate! Any guesses?
Link of the Day:
Sounds like a fantastic day and your breakfast looks delicious! I’m gonna guess that your dessert is some type of “cheesecake”?!?! Hope you had a wonderful birthday!
Happy birthday!!
I love guessing games :).
How about red velvet cake with your healthy cream cheese frosting? Maybe that’s just wishful thinking because I love that frosting and would love to see a red velvet cake to go with it!
Happy Belated Birthday!
I just went to the parents yesterday for a big spaghetti dinner as well 🙂
Hope you had wonderful birthday!!!!
