Rambling About My Weekend…and a sneak peek into my normal routine. Seems like I’ve been awful busy lately coming and going…and planning what’s going to happen next in my kitchen. I decided to slow down for a moment today and share with you about what’s going on here at the White House. Thursday evening pre-planning takes place…and a little oops! I decided to plan early for Friday morning’s breakfast by whipping up a batch of that peanut butter baked oatmeal.

I want another birthday just like this one! There were no tears yesterday as I celebrated that I was another year older… God is so good to me! I had a such a great birthday yesterday! And no, it wasn’t the gifts that made my day. I had a fabulous day because my family made me feel so special. It was the little things they said and the little things they did for me. It was the time that we shared…and of course, the delicious cake that we ate together. I want to share with you a glimpse of my beautiful birthday cake. I actually ordered a cake for myself…
