March flew by. Spring was in full bloom, and there were lots of pictures to take. Here are way too many of my favorites from March.
I can’t wait to see what April brings my way!

March’s Tasty Treats
March was a busy month in the kitchen. We celebrated Dylan’s 5th birthday, and I had a cookie catering gig too.
My stomach still isn’t well, so I’ve been drinking lots of tea…
I tried again to make a batch of homemade Swiss Cake Rolls. These were made from homemade brownies. Pretty good, but not quite it. I’ll keep working on this one though.
I made some homemade breadsticks which everyone loved. They didn’t complain when it was Spaghetti day.
I also made some homemade donuts. These were a big hit with the family.
For the kids after-school snacks I made a big batch of homemade Oatmeal Cream Pies. These were really tasty. I serve them along with Apple slices, and everyone is happy.
I had a cookie catering gig this month, so I made some Sugar Cookies,
Cakerdoodles,
and Chocolate Chip cookies too.
I also made a Banana Cake. It was crazy good, and so moist, it didn’t even need icing.
I made a ton of Cake Pops too. Dylan wanted some for his birthday party at home, and some for preschool too.
Lastly I made a batch of Chocolate Chip and M&M cookies. These are too good, they disappeared fast.
The next two months are going to be extra busy. We are wrapping up the end of the school year, and the kids have a lot of activities too. We’ll see how much I get accomplished in the kitchen this month.
