or more aptly named…Baking with patience, love and more patience

The kids are back! Where did they go? Well nowhere physically. However I can feel their sweetness return again. I go in and out of cycles with my kids of joy and frustration. I just spent the last few days joining the cycle of joy again. I hope to stay there too it is way [...]

I longed for the just right presentation for my hand picked red ripe beauties. I went to cooks.com, strawberry-recipes.com, easy-strawberry-recipes.com and justberryrecipes.com perusing mouth watering treats like strawberry truffles, mousses, [...]
There is a first time for everything. I finally went strawberry picking! I love love love strawberries when they are in season. It was an absolute treat to hand pick the ripe fruit from its very own patch. I am planning on making something homemade with my strawberries. I’ll post my finished product.
There is something [...]
Peter was presented with a homemade breakfast smoothie and a plate of bacon for his Father’s Day Breakfast. I did wonder if giving him a heart attack on a plate was actually a gift or not but none the less it was readily devoured. After church services we went to Prior Lake to celebrate with [...]
