For dinner, I made sweet Italian sausage with broccoli over rice. I cooked the rice with onions, garlic, and cilantro; grilled the sausage and then sliced it; pan fried the broccoli and set aside. Then, put the sliced sausages back in the pan and cooked until done and added the broccoli back in. Served it over the rice. It turned out fine; except that next time, it probably would be better if there was more of a sauce. It would help give the rice more flavor.
For dessert, I made an individually-sized 2-layer carrot cake and cupcakes; with cream cheese frosting and sprinkled grated carrots on top. Used creme brulee type ramekins for each layer. It worked well, except, next time, it probably would be better if there were more frosting between the layers. I wrapped up the cupcakes in a to-go package, with a birthday message on a brown paper bag. It was fairly simple, but turned out nice - something I would probably do again.
