Pancakes for One
Anyone who regularly follows my blog knows of my love for breakfast. If my husband wants eggs, my daughter wants French toast, and I want pancakes I give each one of us the breakfast of choice. But what to do when it's just me!

Baking Madness!
Apparently I was in the mood to bake on Sunday! I didn't mean to crank out so much stuff, but that's what happens when you cook professionally for years. You start cooking and before you know it, you have enough food to open a cafe. It all started [...]
