'recipe' for a happy birthday

I usually have my family's cards done way ahead of time, but for this one I am ashamed to admit, I was late!!  We were very busy, then away, and I just got my daughter's card done today... her birthday was yesterday.  :(    

After I wrote 'the recipe', I thought of better ways to say it, but she was pleased with it.

I'm submitting it to these challenges...
