#TastyTuesday - Minnesota Sticky Buns
Mom and Dad just got back from being with family in Minnesota. Of course we talked about the food and now the guys are craving Aunt Rosemary's stick buns.
Yum! Can you smell the caramel and cinnamon? |
Mom gave me the recipe and at big family gatherings the rolls are still the highlight (and the most requested breakfast item). The Minnesota family tradition continues.
Gram tells the kids they have to share. |
While on our family vacation last summer, Mom made the rolls for our growing family. This was the first time with our new daughter-in-law and significant other. As usual, there were no leftovers.
Mom and Dad have been married for 64 years, still find romance in the kitchen. |

Monday Morning Hero
Birds often think they can fly through our log home in the woods, but quickly learn it is impossible.
Today a little feathered friend saw stars after he bounced off one of the great windows above the deck. Flyboy, gently handled the tiny critter until he regained some balance.
After a short rest, the Nuthatch flew off with a squeak of thanks.
**sigh**
Nothing beats a sexy hero with gentle hands.
Love is A Puffy Apple Pancake
Over medium heat, cook apples in butter until they turn golden. |
Add the batter and place in the oven at 420 for 20 min. |
The result is a lovely puffy pastry. |

A Beautiful Begining

#MIchigan #Meditation
Time spent in nature is an opportunity to rejuvenate the soul.
Try a moment of Michigan Meditation.
My state of Michigan is known for nature. I was blessed to have worked for the Department of Natural Resources for a time. Every day I walked the 81 acres of marshland I was charged with and started the day with peace, wonder and beauty.
Yesterday was the first day of bow hunting season and hunters took to the woods, including my flyboy. Like many hunters, he didn't see a deer but simply enjoyed being in nature. Curious squirrels teased him while he sat enjoying the sounds and smells of the woods.
You don't have to be a hunter to enjoy Michigan Meditation, or even be in the state. Find a spot outdoors, on your porch, in a park; and take a moment to listen, look and smell. Feel the peace.
