That cherry cake looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your blog. There's a few recipes here that might appeal to my very picky husband. By "Frozen Tundra" I assume you mean Canada? I live just south of Green Bay WI which is the Packers "Official Frozen Tundra". lol
ReplyDeleteKudos to you for planning 3 meals a day all week!! I've just been trying to start planning our lunches so we aren't doing PB&J every day, ha ha!!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to make homemade granola for a while. Your recipe looks so simple! Adding this to my "to-do" list this week.
