Eat. Decorate. Celebrate.
Something got into me a few weeks ago. I can’t seem to stop making quick breads. First it was Banana Bread. Then, for some reason, I got an itch to make apple bread. Being the indecisive person I am, of course I had to make more than one version! First I made this apple spice […]
Like most toddlers, the Little One loves berries and other fruits. She often goes through phases when she LOVES bananas, and asks for them every morning for breakfast.
