Well, we have made it through the first full week of September and I am feeling a sense of accomplishment because I got 5 different items in the freezer, ready for when baby gets here! Here are the recipes you might have missed:
And here is a bonus recipe. This is great for Saturday morning brunches or having the girls over last-minute for an impromptu breakfast! It is always a hit around here! I get compliments on this recipe all the time, including the best compliment: asking for the recipe!
