ReplyDeleteI should have a t-shirt with that...
But I simply Looooove Summer Cakes. Because of the added freshness and beauty of fruits. Even if I was on a diet - I'm always - I wouldn't have the heart to say No to such a yummy treat.
Your Friends are Lucky!!!! You're a Gem.

ReplyDeleteHello Linda,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! The reality of the diagnosis is still sinking in.... It's all kind of surreal at this point. So glad to hear that you're happy and healthy! I am divorced and have been seeing the same guy for two years now. He's hanging in there, says he's got too much invested to even dream of walking away but it's all so SCARY! May I ask what type of OVCA you had?
This looks absolutely delicious. I appreciate your sharing it in the Recipe Box.
ReplyDeleteI must comment that you don't look old enough to be a great grandmother. I think, it is great.
Super post. Isn't it a great idea to collect lunch recipes in the Recipe Box linky party? My link was the bacon and scrambled egg rolls. Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteHello, Linda

ReplyDeleteOh, yeah! That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! I have never tasted a Tres Leches cake, but I have had Tres Leches cheesecake at Cheesecake Factory. If it's as good as that, I'm headed to Fat City, baby! It's not even 8 a.m. and I'm craving it right now!!!! :-)
