Today was yet another cold day so I became creative and found ways to warm my soul. For brunch I whipped up some blueberry pancakes and topped them with good old Canadian Maple Syrup. This syrup is like sipping on liquid gold, it's heavenly... expensive but divine.
Then this afternoon I went over to my son's place just to pop in and pick up a few things but my little princess was up so I had to go and say hi to her. After spending about an hour loving my baby and visiting with my son and his wife my heart was overflowing with love and gratitude; what an amazing way to find warmth.
So precious and full of smiles and laughter!
And then tonight between doing tons of other things, I got brave and tried out my new rubber baking pans. I made lemon poppy seed loaf and it was so delicious, it melted in my mouth.
I highly recommend these pans, I'm extremely pleased with them.
Now my warmth is coming from this laptop sitting on my lap, almost to warm! So it's time to call it a day and head up to my heated bed. It's not that hard to stay warm, not when one is creative.

Do you pour syrup on the lemon poppyseed cake?
ReplyDeleteLL no, the loaf is plenty rich enough without adding a single thing to it.
ReplyDeleteAh - that little bottle of liquid gold ! I'm going to have to remember to bring a bottle or 2 down here next time ! Wow - that little granddaughter of yours looks cuter (and bigger !) each time we see her - no wonder you need (at least) an hour with her. Mmmm - lemon poppy seed cake - looks DEElicious !
ReplyDeleteHope you got a little relaxin' in this weekend !
Rick, I do have one thing here that you don't have there, wow! Oh make that two things, snow as well but that one I don't want. My granddaughter sure is getting big, she's cut her first tooth now and is now in swimming lessons, this I have to make a point of going to see one of these weeks soon. She's my pride and joy, we are blessed.
ReplyDeleteRelaxin, hmmm what's that? Take lots of warm photos k? I could use some sunshine right about now.
Pure maple syrup is the nectar of the gods! And your lemon poppyseed loaf looks scrumptious. You are right...there are lots of ways to keep warm and cooking is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteYour little princess is just adorable...enjoy each moment you have with her because they grow up sooooo fast!
I've wondered how those pans work. I still use my AirBake pans but this is good to know.
ReplyDeleteElyssa is adorable and your loaf looks perfect!
