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:
No chocolate? Hmm, maybe coconut then? I hope it was some kind of cheesecake!
And happy birthday to you, Katie! Those are two beautiful pictures of your dogs – I hope they gave you plenty of birthday cuddles 🙂
Happy birthday! I want your puppies. They are TOO CUTE!
Hmmm… Carrot cake? I have no idea but I can’t wait to find out!
Happy Birthday Katie!!!
Happy Birthday!! Have a wonderful and fun day!!
awwww cutie puppies….
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
WOOT WOOT!
I’m loving the banana yogurt, it looks so yummy and creamy..
I can’t wait to see your birthday dessert you whipped up!
for some reason I have an inkling it might have been something with a nut butter… but I could be wrong!
Happy Birthday Katie!!! Sounds like you had a delicious bday!!! 🙂
Happy birthday! 😀
Happy belated birthday!
Happy birthday! It sounds like you had a wonderful day! My husband’s birthday is on Thanksgiving this year and he wants me to make him a special dessert. I’m going to make one of your recipes, for sure!
