<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t intend to make my own belated birthday cake this year.\u00a0 <\/span>It just sort of happened.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each week Kayla picks a recipe from her Sesame Street cookbook.\u00a0 <\/span>We make a shopping list, purchase the ingredients and then spend some time cooking together.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s great fun for me, and good practice for my little cook!\u00a0 <\/span>So far we\u2019ve made sweet recipes instead of nutritious side dishes—like cool cucumber soup and golden zucchini coins.\u00a0 <\/span>That\u2019s what you get when you let the lil\u2019 chef choose!\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The recipe Kayla picked last week was \u201cElmo\u2019s Hooray, It\u2019s My Birthday Chocolate Cake.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>As we were making the cake, Kayla said it should be for my birthday, since mine was the most recent birthday in our family.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0So, hooray, it was my birthday last week!\u00a0 <\/span>We even had enough candles.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(On a side note, I had a terrific birthday last Monday. \u00a0Aaron, the girls and I went out to dinner, had ice cream and walked to one of our favorite parks. \u00a0It was a perfect birthday.)<\/p>\n
