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:
Happy Birthday!! What kind of birthday doesn’t include chocolate?!?!?!? I’m sure it was awesome nonetheless 🙂
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!! I guess that you had cheesecake…yum!
Happy Belated birthday…and yes those dogs could melt any heart 🙂
As for dessert, and it not being chocolate, I am a little stumped. I hope you enjoyed it and I can’t wait for you to share the dessert.
As a side note I am completely excited that you are writing a cookbook. I know it will be awhile, but I can’t wait for it to come out.
Happy Birthday, Katie! I’m glad you had a great b-day. I’m with you on the melted heart thing… those puppies are adorable! 🙂
Not chocolate?? Uh… coconut milkshake? Because I remember you saying you like coconut… Cookie dough something or other? No clue… I’ll just have to wait impatiently and see. 😉
A happy womb emancipation day to you!
Sounds like you had fun. 😀
Happy birthday Katie 🙂 It’s a beautiful day to have your birthday – I think. It was/is my late dad’s birthday as well… Love from overseas! ~Leanne
Happy belated brithday! I’m sorry this didn’t come earlier,but I simply had no idea.
Happy Birthday! I can’t wait to find out what your birthday dessert was! Did you say it WASN’T chocolate? Are you losing your touch? ;D
Have a great day!
A lovely happy birthday to you
Happy Birthday! I always enjoy reading up on your delicious healthy desserts!
No chocolate for your birthday dessert? But we know you also love coconut, peanut butter and sprinkles so maybe a coconut-peanut butter cake decorated with sprinkles!
If it’s not chocolate, it’s got to be coconut?!
Happy belated birthday, glad you had a good day 🙂
Happy birthday!! And I am excited to see what dessert you came up with!
Happy Birthday!! The pups are way too cute!
Sounds like a great birthday. I bet if it wasn’t chocolate related it was peanut butter related. Can’t wait to find out!
Happy Birthday! 🙂 …..Something with sprinkles!
