If you're a long time reader, you might remember that 3.5 years ago, my mother was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. She went through radiation and chemotherapy, and is cured! Without the research and money donated to Breast Cancer causes, that would not be possible. Please check out the bake sale this Wednesday, it runs through Friday. There are many talented bakers out there with delicious items up for bid!
I will be making a batch of Almond Roca Cookies, Toffee-Brown Sugar cookies rolled in crushed Almonds and drizzled with Milk Chocolate. They are decadent and delicious, and would make a great Mother's Day gift! Please check out the website this week and bid, bid, bid!
On a personal note, thank you for your support through the past few months. My pregnancy has taken a turn for the better, but I'm still only eating bland food, carbs and fruit. Now that my husband's baseball season is over, I will be trying to cook more meals and keep the cookie jar stocked, so my hope is to get 1-2 recipes a week on the blog. I just reached my 3rd trimester (yay!) and have about 12 weeks to go!

Such an awesome cause, I will be checking out the sale :)
I wish I had participated in this as well, but already baking for another blogger bake sale (albeit one in person) these sound fabulous though and for such a worthy cause. My aunt and grandma both had breast cancer so it's a cause near to my heart as well.
My grandmother died from breast cancer, and my aunt was diagnosed many years ago so it's a cause near and dear to my heart too. Good for your friends for doing this! However, I strongly urge them to start looking to other breast cancer charities instead. The Susan G. Komen foundation is notorious for spending the majority of their funds on administrative costs. Apparently it has turned into more of a for profit business than a charity (there are tons of links out there if you're curious).
Thanks for posting about the bake sale.
