Thanks for all the Birthday wishes!!! I had such a great day…
I woke up and had a great Birthday breakfast!

Then I made yummy treats for the day…

Bringing cupcakes to elementary school tennis is a must!
I went about my day as usual, but had a great birthday dinner!
Anthony’s Coal Fired Wings (THE BEST! Grilled instead of basted in a yucky sauce and topped with rosemary), a big salad, Grilled potatoes, homemade gluten-free crackers, Vegan (soy-free, dairy-free, nut-free) spinach artichoke dip, and…..
Raw Chocolate Banana Cream Pie with Chocolate Peanut Butter Crust!!!!
It was such a great day, and I had a lot of fun making new recipes. I have a lot of new recipes to share with you…
Thought-provoking, mind-prodding question of the day:
Did you bring treats on your birthday to school?
It was always a big deal with my elementary school. Cupcakes, donuts, candy, brownies, cookies……sugar crash!
Also, what recipes do you want me to give you first???
Happy 17th Birthday Alex!!!! ๐
I want the Sugar-Free Chocolate Cupcake Recipe!!!!! Girl, you have me drooling with your recipes! ๐

I’m glad you had a good birthday!!!! I was homeschooled, so I never really had a school to bring treats too ๐ Plus my birthday was in the summer. But my mom always used to make us “cookie cakes” instead of regular cakes. We thought they were so cool!
Ohmygosh, my sister always asked for cookie cakes!!!! They were (probably still are) her favorite!!
Everything looks amazing!
However, as true chocoholic, I am looking forward to the raw chocolate banana cream pie recipe!
happy birthday love!! everything looks amazing, looking forward to the recipes! and i am in LOVE with your hat!
Happy belated birthday!! I’m glad to hear you had a great day. ๐ AND THE FOOD! I’m definitely looking forward to all of the recipes, but especially the Raw Chocolate Banana Cream Pie!
ahh HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! you sure celebrated with YUMMY FOOD!!! cant wait for these recipes ๐
YES i always used to bring treats when i was little!
I’m going to feel like such a loser sharing this, but here it goes. My parents were both workaholics when I was growing up, so homemade treats didn’t get made in our house. I really wanted to bring treats for my birthday in 2nd grade, so I brought the closest thing to a treat I could find: graham crackers. Not kidding. I brought a box of graham crackers to school for my birthday treat. How sad is that?
Happy belated birthday! Sounds like you had a wonderful day! ๐
Oh my goodness! That is so sad ๐ your little girl is going to have the best birthday treats, though! Seriously your recipes are sooo yummy!
Happy Birthday! Love the mug!
Happy Birthday girl!!!
wow! looks like you had a fantastic birthday ๐
my mom would always make little party bags filled with different chocolates / candies and also some kind of little presents like rulers/pencils for my friends.
I was always excited to get to school early to put a bag on each desk – so that everyone would get a surprise.. hehe. – – LOVE that hat! XXO
Ohmygoodness that sounds like so much fun!!!!! I bet everyone loved it when it was your birthday ๐
Happy birthday! Looks like it was a great one. I love your hat in the first picture! ๐
Happy Birthday! Did you get anything good? Anways…I want the recipe to that birthday dinner dessert….sooo good!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! ๐ (Sorry it’s late ๐ ) It looks like a really fun birthday! And that chocolate pie is mouth-watering! ๐ But so are those cupcakes – too hard to decide!
Aww, looks like a wonderful birthday!! What a great food spread, and those cupcakes look so cute!! Can’t wait for the recipe ๐
Delicious eats girl! Happy Birthday!!! ๐
Happy Birthday!!! Your birthday hat is too cute! I can’t wait for either recipe, but I’m leaning towards the pie. I never got to bring treats to school because I have a summer birthday. I always wanted to be able to go visit my old teachers and give them cupcakes, but it was never meant to be.
Happy birthday!!! Sorry I havent commented a lot lately, life has been getting in my way. I always hated cake, and ice cream cake would have melted, so my mom and I made rice krispies for my birthday shaped like cup cakes!
happy birthday, sweet girl!
I always brought treats to school! It was so much fun ๐
I would like the pudding recipe first… It looks amazing! I’m literally drooling as I scroll back up and down to look at it.
So glad you had a great birthday – What were your presents!?
Haha…..well I got a huge painting for my room (much needed! My room was not very colorful before), some unsweetened carob chips, a mug, some rings and anklets.
Love your birthday hat and mug ๐ Love the way you celebrate your birthday ๐ And I LOVE the look of those cupcakes and NEED that recipe please ๐ Happy Belated Birthday!!!
Happy belated birthday Alex!! I LOVE that hat!!
In elementary school I always used to get clown shaped cookies from this one bakery (not sure why, because I was never a fan of clowns) for my class on my birthday.
Glad to hear your birthday was great!
