I tried the pancakes for one. They were so delicious. So easy to make and they came out light and fluffy. They made three. I gave away my boxed pancakes. Thank you!
I have enjoyed many of your recipes. I just told my son about your site because he and his wife have no one else at home. My favorites are Upside Down Pineapple cake and Chocolate Chip Cookie deep dish. I have several small pans and baking items to do them in. Other recipes too. Thank You for all you do. Happy Holidays.
I can’t wait to try most of these recipes. I already made the banana bread….yum!!!! There’s no man to cook for and my little one is super picky. I’m super happy I found your page.
