Thank you for all those who expressed support and concern for my impatience in welcoming our new addition. He finally arrived on Saturday and we couldn’t be happier (especially me and my bulging belly!). We are doing great and adjusting to life at home.
I know, I know, this is a food blog and all, but I couldn’t resist posting a little picture to explain why I may be a little sporadic in my posting in the upcoming weeks. Thanks again for all your kind words and support!
















Congratulations! This is your blog and you can post any sweet addition you want!

Congratulations Melanie! He is a cutie! Aren’t newborns the best? I hope you are feeling well and have a quick recovery! -Liz Knudsen
Congratulations on your baby….so cute!!! I have a question and you seem to be a genius in the baking area. I am looking for a sugar cookie recipe that is thick and dense like you would get from a bakery but not crispy. Do you have a recipe like this or do you have any hints on how I would get a sugar cookie to be chewy and dense rather than light and fluffy, almost cake-like? I would be so grateful if you could help me with this. My email address is [email protected]
Congratulations! He’s a doll!
Let the fun begin!! Congratulations!
Congrats! Best wishes to you and your new little boyfriend.

Lori – it was strange getting your comment on this post and realizing that little baby is already 9 months old (almost) – and you are probably wondering where the last 26 years have gone with your son who shares the same birthday! Thanks for the comment.
