If you’re a regular reader then you will know that I’m quite an avid baker. Now if I was to let you into a little secret, it might be that I don’t always bake everything from scratch… I know! Also, J gets baking kits bought for him occasionally so we do those too. One of our favourite brands is Betty Crocker. Oh, now I’m writing about baking I really just want to eat some cake… Anyway, I digress!
