First, how was your weekend? Ours was yapsolutley wonderful! I love when we have no plans, and no one needs to be drove from one place to another. This weekend, I got my booty back in the gym for the first time in two weeks. My body isn’t thanking me much this morning, I’m sore all over. But, I slept really well!
This was super-d-duper-ty good! Jeff absolutely loved this cake. The whole gang said, “It was better than a regular homemade chocolate cake!” Wowza, that makes me so happy! I have really just started going for it with gluten free baking. I’m. not. afraid. anymore! Jeff, is doing fantastic and has adjusted quite nicely. He says, “It’s easy when you have this staring you in the face!”
