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.
