Yesterday was my mom's birthday and today is my grandpa's birthday. We celebrated yesterday by going to dinner at a Thai food restaurant near our house, and then back to our house for dessert. I am working on healthy desserts this year, trying to stay away from so much sugar and fat. It's hard with this sweet tooth of mine (inherited from my mother). Anyway, I made a chocolate cake with whole wheat flour, and agave syrup (instead of sugar). I was very nervous about the results, but it turned out well. There was a layer of plum preserves, that I had canned this fall, and then cream cheese and honey frosting. The frosting did have sugar in it, but not as much as the recipe called for (which was 3 cups!!).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! to Mom and Grandpa. I am glad you guys are close by so we can celebrate together.
