Been a long time.

I was wondering if anyone was still following my blog.  I have been missing for a whole year which is kind of scary.   Life has been crazy and I have been not very well last year.  I am feeling better at this time still not 1005 myself but much better than last year.    I am still cooking and I still love to cook.  I am not using my baby cakes machine much if any at all but I still have them in my kitchen begging to make something.
