so here's a bit of baking we did after our big sunday dinner. tom, being wonderful as usual, decided to get some crumb cake mix and make up a lovely breakfast for our first day of the new rotation. and it was fabulous! really good!! and the best part was that it was so easy that he's not scared of baking at all!! hopefully that means more cakes to come... fyi: if you make this yummy mix know ahead of time that the best pieces are on the outside. that's where the cinnamin sugar topping gets all melty and crisp and absolutly delicious!

on another note... i tried my hand at another batch of cookies and failed miserably. i have no idea what went wrong but it was something horrible because the cookies were mostly inedible. i mean, we still ate a bunch of them anyway, but we actually threw most of them in the trash. and if you know how much i like cookies then you know how bad they muct have been. maybe the mix was bad or some other ingredient but they were unable to be rolled out because they were SO stickey no matter what i did. so poopie. my husband baked a lovely morning treat and i couldn't throw together a cookie mix made for kids!! o well, maybe this means my husband will take over the baking in our home. keep eating...
