Birthday cake from a boxed mix and canned frosting is all it takes to make my birthday treat of choice! I don’t even care what flavor –I love them all!

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! :D

Shhhh… (looks all around, not ‘guiltily’, oh no, not at all) — Cheesecake! Any kind. Extra purrfect if it involves chocolate in some way. Mmm.

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.
