The series you're thinking of was called "Maybe This Time," which debuted in 1995 but only lasted one season.

Marie Osmond starred as Julia Wallace, a recently divorced mother who runs a bakery with the help of her mother Shirley (played by Betty White) and daughter Gracie (Ashley Johnson, who's now better known for her voice work on shows like "Ben 10" and "Recess").
