  1. Love Café DuMonde beignet mix! Since we don't have left in the pantry, I think G1 and I are going to make some by scratch tonight for Fat Tuesday.

  2. We have a box of the mix in the pantry, I had forgotten all about it (it was a gift). I might need to make beignets too :)

    Sounds to me that next time you get yummy bread, you should only put half of the loaves out in the open and have a hiding place for your and your husband's portion!

    Did you end up eating all that Kashi cereal even if it didn't agree with you or did Pops eat it for you? Have you been able to completely go back to the way you were eating in the past?

  3. When my regular Kashi cereal came (cinnamon crisp) no problems. I haven't made the beignets yet, going to wait til after lent.
