Rainy Days

While I do miss the nice wether, there are plenty of ups to rain. First of all it waters our lawn and plants. :) That's a plus for sure. When ever it is a rainy day, I get in a cooking mood! I am always in the mood to cook, but when it rains then I really want to cook! Usually something nice you can enjoy while sitting by the window. Is it just me or do you like to bake on rainy days?

If you do, what is your favorite thing to make on rainy days??
