I like to cook and bake sometimes when I’m having a “worry” day. In case you don’t know why, it’s because of my addicted daughter. She was using Meth and Heroin. She’s now in jail re-hab (RSAT). Of course I know she’s fine right now, I just worry that she could relapse when she gets out.

You can read about my story and get some addiction info at the top of this page under “Addiction Posts”. I surely hope you don’t have this problem in your life! But if you want to talk or have any questions, feel free to comment below or email me. I love helping people.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy these as much as I do! Thanks a lot for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!
