A friend is doing an awesome thing for me and, out of the blue, volunteered to take my boys on Saturday so Eric and I could have an anniversary date. I was nearly in tears, seriously; asking for sitting is hard, so when it just lands in my lap, it’s a huge deal.
So! What should I make for her? 
Loading ...Please feel free to elaborate (what kind of cookies/cake/muffins/bread/whatever?) in the comments!
We’re going to take the train into Chicago and walk around, just hanging out together. 
I’m doing this race as my first 50K/ultra in July 2012. I’m so tardy to the party but...
Obviously bread is winning, but I love the idea of a fancy cake – or “Thanks!” cupcakes – cute!
My vote was for bread, something special (homeade bread is AWESOME!) and kind of practical. But the THANKS cupcakes sound too cool for words.
Enjoy your date!
Ahh I also voted for the homemade bread, it not only is healthier but tastes sooo nummy.
The idea of freshly baked bread as a thank you just makes me smile. A lot.
Enjoy your anniversary!
Hard call between homemade bread and cupcakes. But I voted for cupcakes because they’re always the favorite whenever I take baked goods anywhere.
Do you have a bread maker? If so, make a simple strawberry jelly to go with a loaf of honey wheat bread. Deliver it warm from the oven, and she’ll offer to babysit next weekend, too.
I voted for the bread, ’cause it’s so versatile and, while I know some folks that aren’t big on sweet baked goods (I’m not one of them), I have never met anyone who could pass up fresh bread!
