My birthday was last week! Everyone keeps telling me that the older I get, the less I will like my birthday. Ha! Why would I ever hate a day where people buy me presents and my husband slaves away making me loads of delicious food???
My birthday was fantastic. I opened presents in the morning (while eating some chocolate croissants from Trader Joe's -- YUM!), met my Mom for lunch, and played with the girls all day long! Logan got off work early and made me some delicious fajitas for dinner! It was a fantastic day, and I felt very spoiled!

For my birthday dessert I requested a family favorite: Lime Dessert (pretty creative name, right?). =) It has a lime flavored creamy center, with an Oreo crust. Put it in the freezer, to enjoy a deliciously cool treat! Perfect for the 100 degree weather we've been having!
In the picture below, you can see that we were so anxious for some Lime Dessert, we started eating before we remembered to do pictures and candles! Ha!
So, here is the recipe, so you too can enjoy this scrumptious treat! =)
First, chill
one can evaporated milk overnight in fridge – also chill beaters and bowl if it’s a hot day.
Dissolve
1 small (3 oz.) pkg. Lime jello in
1/2 c. boiling water
Add
1/3 c. fresh lime juice
and scant
1/4 c. suger – stir to dissolve.
Whip 1 can chilled evaporated milk until stiff peaks form. Fold in jello mixture.
Crush approx. 2/3 pkg Oreo cookies in food processor. Place half in 9x13 pan. Add dessert mixture. Top with remaining crumbs.
Freeze, then enjoy!
