Glazed spice cake with pecans

It's just a dolled-up cake mix, but John's eyes sure lit up when he got in the door yesterday. (Well, he's seen me in my sweatpants about a million times.)

When the weather gets dark and chilly, dinner is the highlight of the day:

Stir fry with chicken and vegetables

Fried potstickers

Big taco dinners

Sunday pork roast with apples and onions
And so on...
