Spring Favorites




                                                       Orange Muffins with Citrus Frosting

            It's starting to feel a lot like Spring and I thought I would post a few of my favorite
            Spring goodies... to put you in a Sunshine mood and put a little smile on your face.



                                                                  Spring Vegetable Pizza




                                                      Maraschino and Pineapple Bread




                                                                   Berry Puff Pancake




                                                                      Raspberry Salad




                                                                Avocado Feta Salsa

    Alright, I'm making that pizza this week. Everything looks so good. I also want to try the puff pancake. You are great.

    My mom called me the other day and says, "you know that friend of your's that comments on your blog, her name is Val?"-well she's trouble." (note: my mom just lost 130lbs) she goes on to say, "I just want to make everything on her blog-did you know she has a butter finger cake?" She says, "I'm going to make that but I have to have a plan first as to who I'm going to give it to so that I don't eat it all myself!" My mom cracks me up and she loves your blog-cute huh? I think my mom is the only mom I've seen comment on her own daughter's blog-it kills me...she's so funny.

    Hope you are having a great start to your weekend. ;)
