What's on the menu...

Saturday I had a get together with friends. Here's what was on the menu:

(I forgot to take pictures the day of, so these were taken the next day...so the food doesn't look quite as good, but you get the idea)

Creamy Cucumber Dill Salad

Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes and Carrots:

Cheesy Broccoli and Rice:

Meatball Kabobs:

Peanut Butter and Banana

My son had been asking for banana bread, so I finally made him some last week. I doubled the recipe and used half for muffins..half banana choclate chip, and half banana blueberry. I also made some peanut butter cookies, and shaped them using one of the kids toys for playdoh.

Welcome to my Blog!

I'm a first time blogger, so you might have to bear with me a bit as I get used to this. I love baking and cooking, and after discovering the world of baking blogs, I thought I'd start my own.
I'll post mostly baking, but some cooking and other odds and ends. I have 2 young boys, and also watch a couple other kids during the day, so I'll have lots of kid friendly things.

To start off, here's a picture of a cake I'm most proud of. I made this for my mom's birthday last year...it's a raspberry swirl cheesecake topped with fresh fruit and glaze.
