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:
So cute! I hope you had a FANTASTIC birthday! You are so awesome! 🙂
Happy Belated Birthday, Katie!!!
I’m going out on a limb and guessing that you made some sort of a cheesecake . . . or perhaps a hidden-veggie dessert (something like the zucchini grasshopper pie or cauliflower cake?). Whatever it was, I’m sure it tasted AMAZING! 🙂 🙂 🙂
I’m happy to hear you had a nice birthday, you totally deserve it! 🙂
My guess is the dessert was something raw… and if I know you at all (from reading your blog), there was either some form of coconut or peanut butter in there if there was no chocolate…
Happy birthday! Mine is this Friday. 🙂
Oh, and I love those dogs! A happy greeting indeed! Now, does this dessert include peanut butter, banana, or coconut?
So… a banana filled macaroon dipped in that peanut butter glaze of yours?
Happy Birthday, Katie!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 😉
and as for the mysterious dessert, could it be that pink berry recipe you promised?
Happy birthday! 😀
For the dessert: raw key lime pie, carrot cake, cheesecake? I don’t know. I can’t imagine a birthday without chocolate! 😉
I’m thinking something coconut-based… maybe even coconut and some sort of nut butter? With bananas too? Whatever it is, can’t wait!
Happy Birthday, Katie! My guess is something with strawberries.
Happy Birthday :))
