Hi Tina, I just wanted to thank you for posting such great and simple recipes (and for generally having a fantastic blog!) I never cook but tonight I tried making dinner for my husband’s bday and I took 2 recipes from your page- pumpkin chocolate loaf and sweet potatoe fries. Oh my gosh; they turned out so well! And my husband couldn’t believe that I actually made them 🙂
Hi Tina, just wanted to agree with Maura…love your blog and your recipes! Thanks for always keeping me entertained, my husband and I read your blog every day now 🙂
I agree with the two comment above me. I have already made several of your recipes. It has helped this busy mom expand her “cookbook”
Great recipes and site! I love the baked oatmeal. I’ve got a lot of cathing up to do!
