There are times in my life when I just need to bake. As in, if I don’t break out some flour and sugar I might just have a meltdown. Strangely enough, those moments seem to come when we are really busy or I’m not feeling 100%. I guess baking is such a stress reliever that that’s … Read more
We normally have for breakfast pancakes, french toast, omelets, drink coffee or juice, and I love sweets for breakfast even if it is not healthy. It’s just what we do.
