A strawberry rubarb pie that my husband made me, he asked a friend for the rubarb because our store didn’t have any so he picked the rubarb and made everything by scratch, it was so delicous.
My favorite birthday treat is a simple, homecooked dinner with the family. And who doesn’t like shaved ice with flavoring

My favorite birthday treat is my favorite dessert (which is so fattening I only have it once a year!) A freshly baked brownie with organic vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, and whipped cream. There is no greater description of Heaven!

Shhhh… (looks all around, not ‘guiltily’, oh no, not at all) — Cheesecake! Any kind. Extra purrfect if it involves chocolate in some way. Mmm.
My favorite treat is english toffee. What a fun giveaway.
I love to freeze Sprite in ice cube trays with some kinf of gummy treat to serve in birthday guest drinks. For example, we had blue Kool-Aid with Sprite ice cubes that had gummy fish in them for a pirate party. It was “sea water”.
Food-wise: 24 ounce Prime Rib, with horseradish sauce, au jus…
Drink AND dessert-wise: a good hot toddy, with lots of honey and lemon juice.
Ooops – now my stomach is awake.
My favorite birthday treat is my mother’s homemade cake…..yum!
