Cold weather  is at it’s best with something like Maple Crumb Cakes for a wintery breakfast!  The quiet early morning, the pink sky…and the fire crackling in the fireplace just make things feel comforting and warm…even though it was cold.
Marc is working part time at Home Depot.   I think it has been good for him in the long run- he enjoys it, and working part time has been easier on his knees.  This morning he had to be there at 6:00 so we were up early.  I am a morning person,  I actually like getting up.  Once the sun started …read more

For some reason I had never made this recipe before. Probably just too many cookbooks and not enough time..
I was paging through my Farm Journal bread cookbook and looking for something a little different for Sunday breakfast. We are eating alot of eggs now, our chickens are laying close to two dozen a day…That sounds like alot until you figure that my 15 year old eats 4 for breakfast, my husband eats 3 or 4 for breakfast and then everyone else eats 1-2…This morning my son in law ate SIX. Adding that to the baking that is done …read more
