Mason went shopping with Dad at the mall and surprised me with a new cookbook. Of course, we couldn't wait to try one of the recipes. We decided on Crunchy Apple Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. Yummy! With the holidays fast approaching, I think Mason and I maybe spending a lot of time together in the kitchen.
