Oh, taste and see that the Lord isgood;

Is there anything that makes a house feel like home more than great food? The indulgence of our taste buds with something that is home made with love brings a rush of those warm and sweet feelings of home. I want this for my family. I may not be the greatest cook in the world, but I’ve mastered a few things that my family loves. It just take some practice!
I urge you to try new recipes often, and keep track of your family’s favorites to bring back again often. Keep practicing until you feel confident about it. You can do it!
I want to share with you a new recipe I tried this week. It was awesome! This is a perfect fall dessert that will fill your house with the aroma of cinnamon and will impress your family and guests. I got this recipe from a Pilsbury cake mix, but it is so worth sharing!
