For my housemate Karla’s birthday I made this lemon almond yogurt cake, which is gluten-free because she’s sensitive to gluten. I was a bit nervous about baking without gluten, because I haven’t done much of it, but this cake turned out wonderfully.
Lemon Lavender Buttermilk Pops
Knowing that it was supposed to be really hot this weekend, last week I started looking for a new popsicle recipe. The ones I’ve made in the past are great, but I wanted something a bit different.
