Happy Thanksgiving!!

Today I am very thankful for my family. I have a very loving and supportive husband that I love very much. (Happy Anniversary (yestrerday) Honey!)
I have a family that is simply the best.
2 very loving furbabies that came into our lives quite quickly and are wonderful.
and I have some pretty great friends too. What more could a girl want or need?

We are going to Chris' moms today for dinner.
I spent yesterday cooking.. was supposed to make potato salad and bring rolls.
Well I made the potato salad and then made homemade yeast rolls, a sugar free coconut cake (well more like no sugar added as the coconut is sweetened) and also some sugar free cookies.
I was extreamly pleased with the rolls, pretty easy although very time consuming. The cake is pretty flat and dense.. but when you take the sugar out and use splenda there isn't anything to help with the rising of the batter.. so I'll have to do some more research and figure out how to fix that. And the cookies were surprisingly easy and pretty tasty.

I used SF Orange Marmilade and SF Peach Perserves.

The other two recipes (Rolls and Cake) came from a wedding present cookbook. Thank you Tina and family :)

It's a great book, not just a cookbook.
