Happy Birthday Michelle and Trevor!

We have two birthdays to celebrate this month. Libby's "Big Sister" Michelle, and her little boy, who Libby calls, "Mean Trevor." They are both in Florida right now so we can't spend their special day with them, so we thought we would throw them a party and pretend they were here with us! First, we had to make a cake! Since it's close to Valentine's Day, we chose a heart shaped chocolate brownie cake! Yum! Actually, we tried a new recipe: Beanie Brownies! Healthy and delicious! I'll add the recipe at the end of the post for those of you brave enough to try something new!

My favorite little assistant baker!

Her job is to add ingredients, sample, and lick the bowl! She does it very well!

Who wants some chocolate kisses?

Yum! Look at all that chocolate deliciousness!

Libby is the birthday boy by proxy! She's pretending she's Trevor! It's his 2nd birthday! We haven't seen him since he was 2 months old! That's when Libby gave him his nickname "Mean Trevor." Libby said he kept hitting her! Uh-huh...

Here is Libby making a wish for Trevor and blowing out his candles!

I think his wish came true!

Especially if he wished for one super cool Aunt!

Libby loves a good party!

What's a party without the Happy Birthday song?!

Happy Birthday Mean Trevor and Big Sister! Hope you have a great day and get everything you wish for! Wish we were there with you! Lots of Love!

Recipe for Beanie Brownies:

1 box low fat brownies; 1 can black beans; Puree can of black beans in blender. Do not drain beans before you puree. Combine brownie mix and beans in bowl. Mix well. If batter is a little too thick add a little water. Pour into greased pan. Follow baking directions on box. For icing: Put a tub of sugar free chocolate icing in microwave for 10-15 seconds until melty. With pastry brush, glaze brownies. Let cool. Enjoy! Don't worry...you can't even taste the beans! Low fat brownies loaded with fiber!
