	Apple Spice Sorbet by My New Roots Before I begin, I just want to say how incredibly touched I was by your comments from the last post. It feels really amazing being supported by so many friends out there that I haven’t even met. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for embracing my humanness.

Well, I was too.So here’s what happened: I had my heart set on making a carrot cake this year.
