What a year!

Easy*Bake Fun

This brings back lots of fun memories of being at my

Grandma's and making Easy*Bake

rolls, cakes and cookies

in my Aunt Linda's Easy*Bake oven

that she had as a young girl
maybe it was even Aunt Karen's I
don't recall. I just remember Grandma

plugging in the "green giant"

and making lot's of goodies for

all us cousins to bake in it.

Now my kids are baking in theirs and

making new memories!

My parents gave us a 50lb bag of wheat this year so instead of storing it

under someone's bed until it went bad, we went to work. Jeremy's parents lent

us their 30+ year old grinder they purchased early in

their marrage. It amazed me how well

it still worked! We ground all 50lbs and

we are now using it to make super yummy

bread, pretzels, pancakes etc.

our yummy pretzels !

There is nothing better than home made breadDuring Christmas break I took the kids to Gardner Village
to spend the afternoon. We like to go there but this time we
didn't take the car, we took Trax !! Jonathan was in 7th heaven

until we had to get off the train. He cried all the way home :(
