A Rainy Saturday in Michigan

I could have stayed in bed all day, but my 14 year old had marching band practice from 9am to 3pm.

These two boys made it really hard to get up! Benjamin and Franklin own the industry on laziness 😂

I actually took myself to WalMart instead of letting someone shop for me… it went rather well; but the baking after I got home? Not so much…

My daughters friends family is definitely struggling with the father being in the hospital for the last month after a horrible accident. I am bringing them a turkey dinner tomorrow.

Burned my arm checking the first batch of muffins, orange-sized blister now. Couldn’t figure out why the 2nd batch of muffins was taking so long to cook. I accidentally turned off the oven and never realized it.

All this time I could have been reading and writing 😂

And how is your Saturday going? I hope it includes an awesome book and warmth and comfort!

The Lake Eden Cookbook by Joanne Fluke

This is it! The last chance to get this book sent to you 🙂 I will draw names tomorrow of everyone following this blog, and let the winner know this book will be on the way.

This edition is more recipes and less story, but by just briefly flipping through my copy, it looks like the story may be Hanna Swensen reminiscing about past cases she has solved.

Some of the recipes include:

Cream Cheese Puffs, Popovers, Mango bread, Key Lime Pie, Cashew Crisps, Heavenly Eggnog Cookies, Grilled Cream Cheese Sandwiches, and I could go on forever! I am planning on trying out one recipe a week (planning, and hoping I can actually get it done!) and will share the results with you, good, bad, or ugly 🙂 This book is full of recipes that are just in time for the upcoming holiday season.

Next up is me finding a book to read! Any suggestions? I am about to pull a book of the shelf that I have read numerous times already.

Happy Wednesday and Happy Reading!
