Birthday Treats...



Oatmeal Pancakes from Biggest Loser Recipes



Strawberry and Blueberry Mini Tarts

Yummy!!!

Happy Birthday my love!

Last weekend was the hubby's birthday and of course I had to make sure he had a wonderful day! We made him a birthday banner which he loved. I made breakfast from a recipe I found on Pinterest of course, Oatmeal Pancakes (they were so delicious and healthy too!) As for dessert he wasn't up for a cake (which I was thrilled about because I personally am NOT a cake lover) so he wanted a fruit tart (which happens to be my personal favorite). Even though my hubby doesn't like making a big deal about birthdays, it was a perfect day for him. If it was up to me I would have thrown him a surprise party, but him and I are very different and so I always make his day special for whatever he wants to do, as it should be!
