And it is so fun to see the fridge and freezer restocked with yummy things.
Banana bread- my bananas in the freezer are adding up, so that will be happening soon.
Friends coming!- We have friends coming wednesday and staying the weekend which means baking day will be extra big so that I don't waste any time they are here.
A birthday- Which means a birthday cake- woohoo, i love getting to make these for people.
My very first giveaway! I am excited about this. I've been thinking about a giveaway for a while and I'm excited. Just a way to thank all my readers for a great first two months!

Please pick me!!
Chocolote! And chocolote mixed with mint is my favorite.
As for more of what I'd like to see, I love what you already do. But the problem we have right now is a huge storage room full of "food storage" given to us by my mother-in-law, meaning canned fruit and vegis that I really don't know what to do with. Any ideas?
i twittered :)
chocolate of course!

i like all sorts, mainly cookies, chocolate and caramel.
i would like to see some easy weeknight dinners.
I love a good trifle with berries and pudding and angel food cake or anything with white chocolate.
I would love to learn more about using spices and herbs. How do you grow them and how do you use them fresh? How do you know what amounts to use? What works with what? etc. etc.
Oh and I forgot to mention peach cobbler...mmmm!
I can never get enough chocolate!
Love your tomato sauce, by the way. Thank you! We loved having it in our freezer! All gone now :(
