In training

Apologies for the recent quiet on the blog. I have a few recipes to share but need to find the time to blog about them. Work, life, etc. have been crazy - well, crazier than usual, anyway - and last week my grandmother passed away, so my daughter, Elle, and I flew north for a whirlwind trip to be at the funeral.

While we were at my parents' house, though, my little brother and I decided we wanted to bake. He brought out all of my mom's cake mixes so we could pick our poison - and Elle found them to be quite entertaining.

"Mom, if I had been a boy,
would you have named me Duncan Hines?"

"I'm soooo not in a spice cake mood."
