The other day I gave my mom a bite of my Scottish oats. She’s not an oatmeal fan, but actually liked these. So today she wanted me to make a little extra and put it in a small bowl for her.
I made the same mix as the other day with scottish oats/almond milk/banana/egg white/cinnamon then topped with maple cinnamon almond butter sauce, granola and blueberries mixed in.
We ate together and she was saying that she liked it….but then said she was full and that all of her toppings were gone, LOL. I think it was just the almond butter sauce that she liked! Too funny.
Pictures of dessert but no recipes because I’m wiiiiiped out!!! Soon, I promise! Pretzels + vanilla wafers to dip in….
A peanut butter + chocolate chip + cream cheese ball rolled in grahams. YUM. Whole foods 365 brand makes thee best vanilla wafters ever.
Sugar cookie dessert pizza!
I think this was the crowd favorite. It was super delicious and I loved how bright + colorful it was.
I haven’t had a sugar cookie in SO long. YUM.
I made AJ a double layer vanilla bean cake! Vanilla is my favorite and AJ’s. 
I made my usual frosting and then added marshmallows [a vegetarian kind from WF] + graham crackers + chocolate chips to make a S’mores frosting!!! I don’t skimp on birthdays people!
Yumm.
Birthday boy + the rest of the family! Uncle Alan [mom’s brother], Jenna, AJ + Aunt Sherie – I am extremely close to these lovely people and they were all a major part of Chris + my wedding. My uncle married us, AJ was a jr. groomsmen, Jenna was the flower girl and my aunt was my matron of honor

My brother making fun of me. Per usual. “What dessert did you hide the spinach in??” “Are you going to take a picture of that!?” “Did you use sugar in the cake?” Nice, bro.
A little bit of everything + a small slice of a Greek dessert made with farina [a grain], milk, butter + cinnamon. SO good.
mom + daughter
My cool cousins
Grams + me!
Off to bed!!! I have a big day tomorrow….Abby Normally is coming to visit from Pittsburgh!!! I hope I figure out something fun to do

Dessert pizza rocks my world!

I have yet to try a dessert pizza but that looks like a beauty. Don’t ya love making oats for others in hope they like it as much…my mom and sis have asked for it in the past too but I am not sure they love or crave it as much as I do. Those vanilla wafers are delicious! In college, when I was a nanny, I would always sneak a few…too good!
have fun tomorrow! sounds like you are already having a great time!
[Reply]
Awwww you and your family are beautiful. I love seeing family pictures. Gosh it makes me miss my family so much! You must be having a ball. What a treat they have to have all your baked goods too! ‘Icing on the cake’ hehe.
Also I laughed out loud about the comment with your mom being full on the toppings…lol..that sounds like something my mom would say too!
