Memories in a Recipe and baking for Throw Back Thursday

It has been snowy here and so my daughter in law decided to back with my 2yr old grandson on a snow day yesterday. He has been helping bake since he was old enough to stir with a spoon and loves to do this with his mom. Messy or not this is making good memories for them both. Here is a picture his mom took of him baking yesterday oatmeal scones. He had to wear Mommies apron too.

 

 

Here is the Throw Back Thursday Recipe for my Mom's Eggless Cake. She made this for me every year for my birthday and I loved it. Good Memories here too.
