I’ve been in spring break mode lately. You might have noticed since I didn’t bake last weekend. I think it’s because I recently went on a vacation which I haven’t done in a couple of years and it felt awesome to just relax and do nothing. And now being back home I can’t stop enjoying the warmth that’s finally taking over. Spring is probably my favorite time of the year. Unfortunately, in the south, you only have about seven minutes to enjoy the season before the hot and humid heat of summer takes over. Okay, okay – I’m exaggerating a little. It probably lasts eleven minutes. ; ) So you’ve got to enjoy all of them while they last. And I’m trying.
Got Spring Fever, too? Take a break with me and enter this sweet Spring Bake Giveaway for a chance to win a KitchenAid Stand Mixer… in one of the following pastel colors. Plus a white and silver choice in case springy isn’t your speed. Me? I have the pink one, but man, that aqua sky is calling my name. And the ice and crystal blue. too. I’m glad I don’t have to choose.

During the summer months, my hubby and I love going
to take weekend “excursions” and attend different
church suppers around our area! They are usually held
on Saturday evenings. Since we’re diabetic and can’t
eat a lot of desserts and I love making them, I always
make a dessert, pie, cake, cupcakes, pudding, cookies
or bars, etc. to bring and share, and it’s a great way
to meet wonderful new friends, find out about the
church services and attend with them on Sunday morning!
If they have a luncheon after church I bake for that, too.
And of course, being a cancer survivor, I love PINK!!!!!
