sister love ::a cake::

while my little sister was visiting

we had one big evening where plenty of

friends and family came to share a meal 

together.

my sister does not eat gluten 

and i try to stay away from dairy,

for everyone's sake...

so when the subject of dessert was brought up

i couldn't wait to try something from roost blog

featuring gluten, dairy, and sugar free recipes.

we made this cake together.

i used half the amount of honey 

in the meringue topping as i'm not

a huge honey fan...

and as you can see form the remains

it was a hit 

with all eaters...

sister love

my mother, father, and baby sister

drove down yesterday from seattle.

i was beyond excited to celebrate the forth of july with them.

we ate some amazing food

and set off several great 

california appropriate fireworks.

but mostly i was beside myself with joy

when i got to see my baby sister!

we havent seen each other since october

when she left for a leadership school

with ywam.

i am so proud of you mel,

and i cant believe we get to spend all weekend together...
