Today I spent some time in the kitchen. Most of the afternoon, really.
I’ve been creating some space in the freezer this week…only to fill it back up with today’s baked goodies!
Overall I made and mostly froze (because some had to be consumed for quality control purposes!!!)…
Because what a shame to not send these through quality control!!! They passed the mom, little boy and big boy test! All approved!
